Online abuse a modern-day weapon to silence women: Barkha
Journalist Barkha Dutt has said online abuse is a modern-day weapon to silence women and rape threats to women are "startlingly commonplace" on social media. "I was called a whore, 'r****', c'****', bitch and presstitute on Twitter...I have been married off to men who either don't exist or who do but have had no romantic connection to me," she revealed.
