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
