Many women who were online reported getting harassed by men There was one guy who sent annoying messages through Viber. When I blocked his number, he sent messages again with different number of his. It went on for like 4 or 5 numbers from the same person. I guess he has plenty of phones. That’s why I decided to stop using that number of mine and took the sim card out. Female, 25, SEC B, Yangon A friend of mine likes to wear trendy revealing clothing, and her pictures are used by people with bad intentions. Through the messenger, they threaten her by using pictures of her. They said they will change it into pornographic picture, unless to pay the phone bills and stuffs. She got that a couple of times. Male, 28, SEC A, Yangon A local gynecologist from a Facebook group on pregnancy and maternity wrote on my wall: “This person wants to become pregnant. If anyone would like to volunteer in making her pregnant, please let us know” and he tagged my name on that post. I cried the whole day after I saw that… I couldn’t believe he is a gynecologist. Female, 35, SEC C, Yangon While I was reading news online, this guy came and said, “Hi” so I “Hi” back at him since I saw he’s a Buddhist, too. He asked if we could be friends. I was like, of course, everyone can make friends. I like to keep the reply short and straightforward. I asked him where he was from and I told him guys from that area are cunning. And he said, “Anyways, could you send me a picture of you?” and I was like, “Why should I send you my picture?” Then he said, “Alright then,” and uploaded my picture on his wall to show that he has my picture. I was like, “It’s not surprising that you have my picture, of cause, you can get it from my wall, then he said, “That’s not the picture that I want.” I asked him, “Then what picture do you want?” and he was like, “You know what I want. You are a married person”.He said he wanted a picture of my lower body. Then I said, “Well, that’s pretty easy. You can just go home and open up your mom’s longyi to see it. It’s the same thing. All women have the same stuff and really there’s no difference.” Then he became speechless and went offline. Female, 38, SEC D, Yangon Source: LIRNEasia online behavior study (2017)
