Misogyny

The Macquarie dictionary (Sixth Edition 2013) defines misogyny as:

noun 1.  hatred of women.

  1. entrenched prejudice against women.

OHPI stands against misogynistic speech made online particularly on social media. In particular, we campaign against rape jokes, threats and intimidation, slut-shaming, cyber-mobbing a woman to push her out of the discussion, and revenge porn.

With your support we can undertake major new work that will be a game changer in tackling online misogyny.
