On December 10, 2025, the event "Digital Violence Against Women Has Many Faces" will take place at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. That day is also Human Rights Day and marks the conclusion of the Orange Days, an annual campaign initiated by the United Nations (UN) to end violence against women. In 2025, the focus will be specifically on digital violence. The aim of the event is to shed light on the different dimensions of this phenomenon on social media and to address key question in a joint discussion: What does digital violence look like in practice? What are the consequences for this affected? And what consequences must those who abuse power in digital spaces face? How can effective prevention be achieved?
