I had booked a vacation with a hotel, straight before the pandemic hit. All the countries shut their borders, airplanes wouldn’t fly, insurance wouldn’t cover and not to mention the *moral* aspect of not travelling. I emailed them and they said they couldn’t refund me which was
fine. I asked them if we could save it for a later time. They said it’s fine. I gave some proposals but right before the dates, borders were shut again, Spain was in a crisis etc
And she replies: “borders were closed but hotels were open” ??????
as a reason to not being able to keep the reservation and just book it once everyone is vaccinated.

Online harassment and violence such as revenge porn, cyber stalking, identity theft, doxxing and other forms of cyber harassment against women leads to obvious violations of women’s right of bodily integrity, freedom of expression, privacy and right to personal data protection.
“We can't continue having law enforcers utter things like Online abuse isn't real, that is virtual & can't cause any harm. For as long as girls & women are forced off the cyberspaces as a result of fear, we shall continue to miss out on important voices in society”- Maureen Agena
Have you experienced online harassment or online stalking? If you have, can you share your experience and what help was available to you? More importantly, has it stopped?
