questions: Online Gender-Based Violence in the Philippines: 2023 Yearend
Report Violence against women and girls is an alarming issue that occurs
within and beyond the online sphere. The rapid evolution of technology may
often mean progress and convenience, but existing digital tools have also lent
themselves to the proliferation of online gender-based violence (OGBV).
ENG1512 PoE MAY/JUNE 2024 Page | 4 Though violence targeting one’s
gender is not a new phenomenon, new technology has given rise to new and
heightened forms of OGBV. This comes in various methods, as in
cyberstalking, doxxing, sextortion, non-consensual distribution of intimate
images, among others, that poses serious threats to women’s safety and well-
being. As part of its advocacy to build a safer Internet, the Foundation for
Media Alternatives (FMA) initiated an effort to map OGBV cases in the
Philippines in 2012 which continues up to present. From January to December
2023, FMA mapped a total of 56 OGBV cases and determined the most
common forms and manifestations of OGBV: • Non-consensual production
and/or dissemination of intimate images or videos (41.7%). • Threats of
violence and/or blackmail (22.2%). • Cyber pornography or prostitution
(14.8%). Other offenses include cyber harassment or abusive speech (5.6%);
trafficking (5.6%); physical or sexual abuse (4.6%); spying, surveillance, or
device-facilitated violence (2.8%), control and manipulation of accounts and
information (1.8%), and online scams (0.9%). Source: Foundation for Media
