The Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with TVRI Yogyakarta, has once again presented the “OPSI: Obrolan Psikologi” (Psychology Talks) program, now in its eighth episode, aired on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. This episode carried the theme “Online Gender-Based Violence: Caring Together, Protecting Together”, discussing the importance of collective awareness in preventing sexual violence in digital spaces. This increasingly prevalent issue in the digital age must continue to be addressed through public education efforts to help create online environments that are safe, equitable, and free from gender-based violence.

Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) is a form of sexual violence that occurs in digital spaces and can affect anyone—from children to the elderly. This was conveyed by Lucia Peppy Novianti, M.Psi., Psychologist, a clinical and forensic psychologist as well as a doctoral candidate at UGM. She emphasized that individuals with low digital literacy, especially children and adolescents, are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims because they may not yet be able to distinguish between original content and manipulated content such as AI-edited materials.
