Over the last couple of months, we have been highlighting the impact of online harm, particularly on women and girls, and have also heard from some of the women within SWGfL who drive our protective initiatives forward. Alongside hearing from Sophie Mortimer, Claire Hayden, Sophie Slee, Charlotte Aynsley, Sara-Jayne Gilchrist, and Carmel Glassbrook, as well as Senior Helpline Practitioners, we are taking this opportunity to showcase others in the team who have made a considerable impact.
Christine Ship has been working at SWGfL for nine years and, after contributing across various departments and projects, is now StopNCII Partnership Manager. In this role, she ensures that industry platforms are able to onboard with ease, helping their users to prevent intimate images from being shared online. Christine has helped drive StopNCII.org to become the cornerstone initiative it is today. She is highly respected within SWGfL, as well as across the wider network of relationships and partnerships she has built within industry to support the protection of millions of people around the world.
Louiza Youlzari has been at SWGfL for over 15 years, overseeing vital projects that support the online safety of young people and adults impacted by harm. Louiza is committed to creating safer, more inclusive online spaces where everyone can participate safely and confidently. She is a trusted and supportive figure within the team, helping to develop projects that bring digital wellbeing to the forefront. She is particularly recognised for her work on Safer Internet Day, and the development of critical initiatives.
Naomi Lofkin has been with SWGfL for nearly 6 years, overseeing and managing our digital marketing channels. Naomi brings a great deal of passion to her role, ensuring we support a wide range of audiences through our resources, tools and services. She makes sure that people continue to see SWGfL as a trusted and leading organisation within the field of online safety through our branding and various awareness raising campaigns. She is such a valuable member of the team and brings a smile to everyone in the office.
Each individual has been recognised for their impact within the SWGfL team, contributing their expertise to support and enhance our vision of ensuring everyone can benefit from technology, free from harm. While these individuals have been recognised separately, it is important to note that all SWGfL team members bring innovation, talent, empathy, and a deep understanding of online harm, helping to move our work forward.
As we conclude our look at the impact of online harm on women and girls following this year’s International Women’s Day, please continue to explore our resources, guidance, and solutions to support the long-term protection of those in your care.
