Málaga, Nov 14 (EFE).- Chary Sánchez experienced sexist violence firsthand through the mobile phone due to “lack of knowledge and information”, an experience that led him to launch the “Online Hits” campaign to help adolescents to identify gender-based violence online.
This journalist has been fighting for almost nine years for digital emotional education as a preventive measure in young people, a project that aspires to be implemented in educational centers.
“If we do not explain to adolescents what content is gender violence and what is not within a romantic relationship, they will never detect an ‘online attack’ and much less report it,” he stated.
Sánchez, who participated in the International Congress for the Study of Gender Violence against Women that brought together almost a thousand people in Malaga for two days, defended in his speech that the educational system “must know the codes” and the language of adolescents on social networks to “get to them at once.”
“The majority are unaware of dangerous situations because they have normalized them” and feel insults, manipulations or geolocation as “a symptom of love,” said the journalist, who has carried out research on the psychological effects of the WhatsApp application.
The campaign “Golpes en linea” by Chary Sánchez, with the motto “Neither blows that hurt, nor messages that hurt”, was recognized with the Menina award against gender violence in 2017, along with her first book “Me conso con verte online”.
The training program is aimed mainly at institutes, schools and adolescent organizations, to “recognize the dangers before it is too late,” according to its promoter.EFE
