Hello everyone! In our increasingly digitalized age, targeted harassment of women on social media platforms has become more and more common. Unfortunately, many of these websites/apps have not taken adequate action to prevent the spread of hateful and violent posts. In order to foster a safer social media environment, Amnesty International has launched the Troll Patrol Program.

With the help of thousands of online volunteers, Amnesty International will track, analyze, and report instances of hate speech directed towards women on Twitter. If you would like to get involved with this program, please click this link and follow the simple, on-screen instructions.

We thank you for your time, effort, and dedication to creating a more positive social media experience for women!

Become an Amnesty Decoder Help Amnesty researchers analyse hundreds of thousands of tweets to track abuse against women online. It takes just a few minutes to sign up, and as little as 30 seconds to start detecting online abuse. Decoders is people power at its best – sign up now.
