Violence has no age limit — neither should protection.

Older women experiencing abuse face isolation, disbelief, and silence.

It’s time to make them visible, heard, and safe.

Digital safety is a human right — at every age.
To stop tech-facilitated violence, we need stronger laws, accountability from tech companies, & inclusion of older women in safety & leadership.

Today, we honour the 14 women killed at Polytechnique Montréal in 1989.

Their lives were stolen by misogyny — their memory compels us to act.

Let’s remember.🕯️
Let’s listen. 👂
Let’s end gender-based violence. 🚫

Digital violence affects women of all ages.
Between 16–58% of women have faced online abuse — from harassment to image-based violence.
Older women deserve digital safety and respect.

Digital abuse targets women of all ages — but those facing multiple forms of discrimination, including older women, are most at risk.

Safety online is a human right for every woman.

Older women face overlapping ageism & sexism.
Human rights do not fade with age — equality, safety, & autonomy must apply to every woman, at every stage of life.
Protecting older women’s rights protects all women.

Older women face digital abuse too — but their reports are often dismissed.

Age should never erase your right to digital safety.
