Reporting to Platforms

If you’re experiencing online gender-based violence, most platforms have reporting tools to help you take action. Here’s how you can report abusive content on major platforms:

X/Twitter

  • Click the three dots on a tweet or profile and select Report.
  • Choose the violation that best fits your case.
  • For detailed reports, use Twitter’s reporting page.
  • Reports in non-English languages may need extra explanation.
  • If Twitter confirms the violation, the account may be suspended.

You can refer more on their policy here.

Facebook & Instagram

  • Tap the three dots on a post or profile and select Report.
  • Facebook and Instagram prohibit harassment, bullying, and non-consensual intimate content.
  • Reports are anonymous—your identity won’t be shared.
  • Check your Support Inbox for updates on your report.
