Doxing, the malicious sharing of someone’s private information without consent, is a dangerous form of technology facilitated violence that disproportionately targets women and girls, exposing personal details like addresses, phone numbers, and family information and creating pathways for harassment, stalking, threats, and even physical harm. We emphasize that your data is not public property and we raise our voices for women journalists, activists, politicians, and everyday users who face coordinated attacks designed to silence them and push them out of digital spaces. This is not "online drama" but a violation of human rights that can escalate into real world danger, which is why we continue to demand stronger laws that criminalize doxing and digital violence, platform accountability that protects user privacy, survivor centered support services for those affected by technology facilitated abuse, and increased digital literacy education that helps people safeguard their personal information. Technology should empower and uplift rather than intimidate or endanger, and together we can build safer online environments for all women and girls.
