ENHAGA –End Sexual Harassment in Gaming” is a cutting edge two-year project, which started in April 2020 and will be completed in March 2022, and is funded by the Rights, Equality and Citizenship (REC) Programme of the European Union.

Its aim is to develop and implement innovative practices to eliminate cyber harassment for female gamers through the development of an online game with associated tools to empower young girls on how to react to cases of cyber sexual harassment and further report incidents. The project will also promote awareness raising activities about the need to ensure harassment-free gaming environments for all.

ENHAGA’s main goals are:

• to prevent and combat psychological online harassment especially for girls and young female gamers
• to promote capacity-building for relevant professionals in the gaming sector
• to make provisions for gamers from diverse backgrounds by helping to spread knowledge about the need to combat violence based on gender
• to equip relevant stakeholders with awareness, tools and empowerment in order to report cyber harassment and build cross-gender ecosystems of tolerance and respect.
