SAFE – A Guide for People Targeted by Online Violence
(Da página da Green European Foundation) (https://gef.eu/publication/safe-a-guide-for-people-targeted-by-online-violence/)
This guidebook was originally published by Vihreät Naiset (Green Women) for a Finnish audience. It has now been adapted and translated by GEF and its partners for European readers.
As political conversation and activism have shifted more and more onto different social media platforms, so have the voices of harm. The nonconstructive and human rights violating hate speech creep closer to their targets. These targets are most often women, LGBTQI+ people, people of colour, and people with disabilities. Filled with resources, concrete tips, and case examples, we hope that this guidebook provides support to anyone exposed to this kind of online violence because of their advocacy.
This publication has been realised with the financial support of the European Parliament.
The European Parliament is not responsible for the content of this project.

This guidebook was originally published in 2020 by Finnish Green Women’s association for a Finnish audience. As political conversation and activism has shifted more and more on to different social media platforms, so have the voices of harm.
The nonconstructive and human rights violating hate speech creep closer to their targets. These targets are most often women, LGBTQI+ people, people of colour, and people with disabilities.
This translation, adjusted to serve the public from other EU countries, responds to a need occuring within the Feminist Climate Ambassadors training and network. The training is organised as a part of Green European Foundation’s project Feminists in the Climate Movement. The Feminist Climate Ambassadors training supports the advocacy of European feminist climate activists and encourages them to speak up
for equality. Unfortunately, still in 2021, people who speak about gender inequality and the oppression of minorities, are at a higher risk of being harassed and silenced.
We hope that this guide book provides support for people who are exposed to this kind of online violence because of their advocacy.
Because of the original purpose and target group of this guidebook, it includes case examples of Finnish practices, national legislation and organisations working on the issue. You can identify the Finnish case examples from the grey-coloured highlighting. However, the guidebook also includes tips on how and where the residents of other EU countries can look for support if they are targeted by online violence.
This guidebook has been created, because women and different minorities in politics, such as LGTBQ activists, people of colour or with disabilities, are often targeted by silencing and a threat of online violence.
