Internet Safety

The following information was adopted from the website of our partners at the London Abused Women's Centre. We suggest you visit the "Be Web Safe" page of their site for full information about protecting yourself online.

"It may not be safe for you to access websites for information about woman abuse or sexual assault from your computer. Your abuser could discover what sites you have visited. Internet browsers record a history of recently visited web sites for fast reloading on your next visit. Your safety could be jeopardized if your abuser were to check this history. There are some things you can do to hide your Internet use. It may be safer to access information on the Internet from a friend’s house, your workplace, a library or Internet cafe."
