TFGBV: WHRDs face widespread sexual harassment and threats online. These attacks
have led to lasting psychological trauma and, in some cases, physical harm. These attacks
have come from pro-junta groups, but the junta has also invaded the privacy of detained
activists by downloading private photos off their phones and sharing them widely in an
attempt to degrade and humiliate them. Meanwhile WHRDs have faced backlash, threats and
retaliation from within resistance movements when reporting or speaking out about abuse.

Increased vulnerability of women during internet shutdowns: Internet shutdowns have
placed WHRDs and women in general at greater risk. WRHDs are forced to travel to remote
or unsecure areas to get online, exposing them to increased risks or violence. Shutdowns
have also obstructed services set up to support victims of gender-based violence, and
other forms of support for women.
