Online spaces should feel safe — not silenced or intimidating.

Digital abuse can look like harassment, threats, monitoring, humiliation, or controlling behaviour through technology. It’s often subtle, and far too often, ignored.

Being an ally means stepping in, speaking up, and supporting those affected.

It's so important to be kind

📢 Can you spare a few minutes to help?

We’re supporting Citizens Advice St Helens with their annual local survey — and they’re hoping to hear from as many people across the borough as possible.

Your feedback helps them understand what local people are facing right now, what support is needed, and how services can be improved in the future.

💬 If you live in St Helens, please take a moment to share your views:
👉 https://ivlv.me/dO4mO

Every response makes a difference — especially for those who might be struggling but don’t always feel able to speak up.

The survey closes on 17th December, so if you can, please complete it and share with others who may benefit.

Thank you for helping strengthen support in our community 💜

💻 Digital Abuse: It’s Real, It’s Growing, and It’s Dangerous

Digital abuse isn’t always obvious.

It can look like constant messaging.
It can look like demands for passwords.
It can look like “Share your location so I know you’re safe.”
It can look like someone scrolling your phone without permission.

But beneath it all, digital abuse is about CONTROL!

For many women and girls, online spaces are no longer safe. Technology can be used to monitor, intimidate, isolate, and threaten — often long before any physical abuse is recognised.

📌 Examples of digital abuse include:
• Tracking someone’s location or movements
• Hacking emails or social media
• Monitoring messages or call logs
• Threats to share personal photos or information
• Forcing someone to block friends or family
• Using fake accounts to harass, intimidate or follow

Digital abuse can leave deep emotional harm — and in some cases, it escalates into offline violence.

If someone is controlling your technology, your privacy, or your online space — that’s not care.
That’s not concern.
That’s abuse.

You deserve safety — online and in real life.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Support is available.
