Dangerous social media targeting of LGBT individuals and communities in the Middle East and North Africa has resulted in the creation of this clever Human Rights Watch campaign, focused on META and its app users, titled #SecureOurSocials.
The initiative features a fun and informative short film, directed by MAYO and developed in-house, starring Lebanese drag pioneer Anya Kneez, who stars as a glamorous attendant on an Air Anya flight as she shares solutions to help keep LGBT people safe on social platforms.
The explainer video is a companion piece to an awareness guide on how LGBTQ people can stay safe online. Importantly, the action campaign also asks META to disclose its annual investment in user safety including how trust and safety investments are proportionate to the risk of harm, for each region, language, and dialect in the MENA region.
