With the recent introduction of Ofcom’s Guidance on Women and Girls’ Online Safety (WAGOS), this panel discussion aims to have a comprehensive and concrete conversation around how we can build frameworks for addressing gendered harms and fostering safer online spaces. Sharing actionable recommendations and discussing the pivotal role of service providers in adopting these guidelines.

• Key Themes of WAGOS: Exploring online misogyny communities, digital domestic abuse, pile-ons, harassment, and image-based sexual abuse.
• Understanding emerging threats and their disproportionate impact on women and girls.
• Strategies for harm prevention: integrating safety considerations into service design and governance.
• Tackling barriers to implementing safety measures and leveraging opportunities for systemic change, enhancing user support systems to respond effectively to gendered abuse.
• Working with victims and governments to transform systems and procedures
