Women’s safety does not end at the front door, the workplace gate, or the edge of a public street. It extends to our phones, accounts, photographs, and the spaces where we connect online.
I was glad to join Panel Discussion 3, 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀: 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 at the 3rd Edition of the National Women’s Conference 2026: Gandhiji Revisited — 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 & 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮: 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, held on 24–25 September at SPORTI, Bengaluru.

We discussed cyberstalking, account takeovers, identity misuse, and the fear of being blamed when reporting harassment. We also explored where AI could help people recognise threats and access support, while asking a question that matters just as much: *𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁?
People need practical ways to protect themselves and preserve evidence. Platforms, employers, communities, and authorities also need to make it easier to report harm and get help without judgment.
Grateful for the opportunity to be part of this conversation. Women deserve safety wherever life happens, online and offline.
Thank You so much Venkatesh Murthy. K Sir.
