Agita Pasaribu: Confidential and Accessible Online Support Against Cyberbullying
Agita: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! During the COVID-19 pandemic, something else was silently escalating on our little planet: cyber harassment and online gender-based violence. Sadly, victims had nowhere to turn for help. It was a tough time, with isolation on one hand and increased online vulnerabilities on the other. We saw a gap—a big one—for confidential, accessible support. So, we launched Bullyid App, aiming to be a digital beacon of hope. We aim to provide victims with robust online mental health support, legal advice, and tech solutions to keep them safe and sound in the digital realm. It's about turning the tables on cyber harassment, giving power back to those who felt powerless.
