Nearly half of women aged 16-24 report experiencing online violence, according to a new report.

A study of 2,000 UK women found 47 per cent of those aged 16-24 experienced some form of online violence, with 36 per cent of women more broadly reporting the same. The report suggests police and social media platforms are failing to respond adequately to complaints, with victims often told to seek help from tech companies.
