Women in Media Victoria and Maurice Blackburn Lawyers present “Dodging Digital Dangers — cyber security and law enforcement in the #metoo age”.
You’re invited to a speakers’ panel and discussion workshops on cyber security for women.
You’ll be able to hear (and share) stories of online harassment and its aftermath and get hands-on advice on how to protect yourself from doxxing and trolls, as well as adding your voice to efforts to change the law and official attitudes.
Our aim is to close legal loopholes and change attitudes so that social media sites, employers, the police and other parties take the issue seriously. Your anonymous feedback from this event will be collected and relayed to key decision makers in the area of cyber security.
Guest Speakers:
• Ginger Gorman – pre-eminent expert on trolls and cyber hate
• Cait McMahon – psychologist and trauma expert
• Carlene Mahoney – former police officer and cyber security specialist
This event will be MCed by Van Badham, Guardian Australia columnist and MEAA Victoria Media Section Vice-President.
Doors will open at 10.30am and a light lunch will be served at 12.30pm before confidential discussion workshops start.
Book early as spaces are limited.
