Cyberbullying: Understanding its Connection with Race and Gender
February 28, 2018
Cyberbullying is a form of online harassment and violence that happens through social media and the Internet. With the rise of populism and the increasing momentum around violence against women, online harassment is shifting. Cyber-racism and cyber misogyny are two terms coined to describe the ways that certain groups have been targeted online.
So what can we do?
This year, on Pink Shirt Day, a national day of bullying prevention, YWCA Metro Vancouver and Hootsuite have partnered to host #Cyberbullying, a discussion exploring how race and gender are connected to cyberbullying. Join us on February 28 for an interactive panel discussion that will feature experts, advocates and youth discussing the root causes, effects, and themes surrounding cyberbullying.
Agenda:
5:15PM-5:30PM: Food, drinks and registration
5:30PM-7:00PM: Panel followed by interactive group discussions
7:00PM-7:30PM: Key takeaways and networking
Time: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Venue: Hootsuite
