Abstract
Rates of cyber harassment are on the rise. Pew Research Center has found that women are harassed differently than men, such that they are more likely to receive gendered harassment (Duggan, 2014). In this poster, we highlight that without simultaneous policy implementation, increased media coverage alone has normalized these threats.
