META took a noble step
Meta has started a new initiative to take care of the safety of women of India on social media platforms. In this initiative, the company has taken three initiatives, including a new platform, making the Women’s Safety Hub available in Indian languages and adding Indian members to the company’s Global Women’s Safety Expert Advisors. .
Meta launches new platform
The new platform that we are talking about, it checks and limits the sharing of Non-Conscious Intimate Images (NCII). It is known as StopNCII.org and in India it has partnered with institutions like Social Media Matters, Red Dot Foundation and Center for Social Research.
With the help of this platform, women can register their complaints on this platform, whose intimate pictures have been posted on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Bumble and Discord. This platform will keep a check on these social media platforms and try to get the pictures of women removed from them as soon as possible. If women want, they can also check the status of their case on this platform.
Women’s Safety Hub in Indian Languages
The Women’s Safety Hub is a platform that has many exclusive resources for women leaders, journalists and women who have faced exploitation. Visitors to this site get a chance to register for live safety training.
There is also the option of video-on-demand safety training. Now specially for Indian women, this platform has been made available in Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bengali, Oriya, Assamese, Kannada and Malayalam, in all these languages.
Now Indians in Global Women’s Safety Expert Advisors
META’s Global Women’s Safety Expert Advisors is a group consisting of 12 members who hail from all over Dubia and recommend the company better development plans, products and plans for women associated with their apps.
Till now there was no Indian member in this group. This time META has included Bishakha Dutta, Executive Editor of Point of View and Jyoti Vadehra, Head of Media Communications, Center for Social Research in this panel. Both of them are the first Indian to be a part of this panel.
This initiative is an effort from META, towards making online platforms safer and better for the women of India and the company is hoping that they will be able to achieve success in this endeavor.
