Online misogyny should concern believers, says Christian organisation

Believers should be concerned because the internet "harbours dangers that disproportionately target girls and young women," says a Christian women's organisation.

Girls' Brigade England and Wales - an organisation that helps women and girls explore the Christian faith - says online platforms "expose girls to relentless pressures, toxic role models, and gender-based abuse that corrodes self-worth and mental health." These are not Kingdom values, says the organisation, and so this issue should concern Christians "deeply."

According to Girls' Brigade England and Wales, three-quarters of girls and young women aged seven to 21 report experiencing online harm; 81 per cent of victims in over 7,000 offences of sexual communication with a child were girls.
