Students learnt about image-based abuse and being AWARE while posting images.
Legal implications for sending on private images were also discussed.
The workshop also explored tips for staying safe like using some of the functions on social media sites like blocking, reporting and unfriending others who seem suspicious or harmful and promoting critical thinking as a mechanism to enhance safety.
