127. How Digital Violence Targets Essence with Anna-Lena von Hodenberg

This is the last episode in your 4Es Series and we are joined by Anna-Lena who is a journalist, and co-founded HateAid, a non-profit organisation that advocates for human rights in the digital space. At a time when women are disproportionately attacked online, especially those leading, Anna-Lena and Julia discuss how digital violence targets our Essence. Essence is what makes us who we are, and specifically makes us lead the way we do. When one is targeted and pieces of our essence are picked at, what does that do one sense of sense and one's leading? What is it about being torn down in the virtual space that make it so painful? Is it even possible to prevent it? What does one do when targeted brutally? How do you recover?
