New Awareness Website for Gen Z Launched on April 1: "Never Suffer in Silence Handbook" Available on Smartphones

RightsTech Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo), through its online safety support platform "beME," has released the "Never Suffer in Silence Handbook – To Avoid Online Harm," which compiles initial responses and preventive measures for victims of online harm.

This handbook was created as part of beME's awareness campaign, organizing key points to know before becoming a victim, and specific action flows in case harm actually occurs, in an easy-to-understand manner for everyone.

Background of Handbook Publication With the widespread use of SNS and messaging apps, online harm such as defamation, impersonation, deepfakes, revenge porn, and sextortion (sexual extortion) has become increasingly diverse and sophisticated year by year. On the other hand, there are many cases where victims suffer in silence due to reasons like "not knowing how to respond" or "not knowing where to seek advice." To improve this situation, beME has made the basic actions everyone should take visible through this handbook.
