On 3 October 2026 the Centre for Women & Development (CWD) organised a workshop on digital rights, cybercrime support and reporting for community women in Kilinochchi.
Thirty-two women took part. Two facilitators led practical sessions on online safety, digital privacy and cybersecurity. Participants shared everyday problems they face online — including harassment on messaging apps and social media, fake accounts, unsolicited messages and financial scams — and received clear guidance on securing accounts, using privacy settings, blocking abusers and reporting cyber violence.
The workshop also covered password security, multi-factor authentication and how to seek organisational or legal help when threats become serious.
This activity was supported by Women’s Fund Asia. CWD remains committed to helping women protect themselves and their families in digital spaces.
