Online gaming is more than just play, it’s a space where friendships are formed, identities explored, and, unfortunately, where harm is often experienced.
In this digital session, a panel of young women and gender-diverse gamers will share their lived experiences navigating discrimination, harassment, bullying, and exploitation in digital gaming spaces. Together with participants, they will engage in a meaningful dialogue about accountability, systemic change, and what it takes to create safer and more inclusive online environments. Panelists will offer personal insights and ideas for transforming gaming spaces and reflect on who bears the responsibility for ensuring digital safety and equity.
This session is the first of four offerings in an online learning and discussion series focused on:
hearing directly from young people;
engaging in dialogue with peers, stakeholders, and decision makers; and
exploring recommendations for effective protections and rights-based digital policies in Canada.
Online only | No cost | Open to all ages
