Info

In Pew survey, 25 percent of young women reported being sexually harassed and/or stalked online While women and men tell of being harassed online, harassed young women were reportedly subjected to online sexual insult, threat and stalking more often than harassed men who, instead, reported enduring more name-calling and efforts to embarrass them, according to the Pew Research Internet Project. A project study, Online Harassment, is based upon 2,849 male and female Web users who self-administered online responses to the Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel, conducted in a May 30, 2014, through June 30, 2014, survey. 60% Young women experience particularly severe forms of online harassment 51 50 6 40 All internet users Men, 18-24 Women, 18-24 38 36 8 7 20 0 27 Called offensive names 22 Purposefully embarassed Stalked 26 13 25 Sexually harassed Source: American Trends Panel (wave 4). Survey conducted May 30-June 30, 2014. n=2.839. 8 26 23 Physically threatened 7 16 18 Sustained harassment Graphic produced by the Women’s Media Center Most of the reported harassment occurred on social media but online gaming and Internet comment sections also were avenues for heckling and threatening others, Pew researchers wrote. Of the survey’s adult respondents, 40 percent said they had been harassed online and 73 percent said they witnessed another person being harassed. A stranger harassed 38 percent of those reporting such abuse, while 26 percent of survey respondents said they had no way of knowing their harassers’ true identity. Pew concluded that 18- to 29-year-old men and women were the most likely of any demographic group to endure online harassment. Of that entire group, 65 percent reported being harassed and among the youngest of that group, persons aged 18-24, the rate was 70 percent. 86 WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2015 TOC womensmediacenter.com

In addition, women said “they do not escape the heightened rates of physical threats and sustained harassment common to their male peers and young people in general.” Women were more likely than men to find their most recent experience with online harassment extremely or very upsetting; 38 percent of those women and 17 percent of those men described their suffering in those terms.
