Seyi Akiwowo on online abuse and how to protect yourself - English | Episode 7

Seyi Akiwowo is the Founder and Executive Director of Glitch, a
not-for-profit organisation dedicated to ending online abuse and
championing digital citizenship. Glitch was founded shortly after
Seyi, then politician, faced horrendous online abuse and
violence. Using her lived experience and valued expertise, Seyi
travels the globe developing practical solutions with
Governments, NGOs, UN Human Rights Council and tech companies to
protect our online public spaces from hate and abuse.


In this episode, we talk about the realities of online abuse in
our modern world. Seyi shares incredible wisdom on how social
media and the internet is simply a mirror of culture and
behaviour, the limitations of language for describing and
sanctioning abuse; and practices we can implement to protect
ourselves online and take responsibility for making it a safer
space for all.
