Your input will help us to shine light on the issue of online abuse and its impacts, and will give vital information about the scale of the problem during COVID-19.

We will use what you tell us to amplify the experiences of those communities most at risk of online abuse, and to push for change and improvements in the online world. Please help us by sharing a link to this survey once you’ve completed it. Thank you!

Support for those affected by this issue is available here".
