The dark side of connection: How cyber abuse impacts women and children

For musician Rosie Delmah, fame has been a double-edged sword.  

Rosie has been experiencing cyber bullying and sexual harassment for several years.  

In 2025, explicit deep fake images of her were created and spread across the internet, causing her to bravely speak out.   

And Rosie is not alone. Cyber abuse, particularly against women is rife and many countries, including Rosie’s home Solomon Islands, lack the cyber-crime laws to stamp out activities like online bullying, sexploitation, and harassment. 

Sistas Let’s Talk speaks to Rosie about her experience as well as Morina Rapasia, the Solomon Islands Country Coordinator with Childfund Australia, who has been rolling out Swipe Safe, an education program designed to keep the next generation of online users safe.
