A non-profit organization, Developing Women to Survive Empowerment Initiative (DWS) says digitalization has given more women a voice against abuses.
The Founder of DWS, Mrs. Abimbola Onwuchekwa on Tuesday, said that through digitalization many more women had been able to speak up against abuses in marriages and other relationships.
Onwuchekwa said that digitalization had also made it easier for victims of rape to speak out without being stigmatized.
According to her, more women from abused backgrounds have also received canceling, healing and empowerment, and entrepreneurship opportunities through the internet.
She said that women were less exposed to dangers through the internet because many things were being done digitally.
‘’The internet is more for women because there are opportunities for women on work flexibility and multitasking.
“It creates the ability to acquire and interact with customers, receive training, provide mentorship and eliminate barriers.
