What is it?

Uli is a browser plugin designed specifically to address online gender-based violence in India by providing tools for relief and collective response to assaults.

It offers a platform that empowers users to act together and create a safer and more supportive online environment, thus challenging traditional power dynamics in digital content moderation.

What problems does it solve?

Uli addresses the issue of online violence and abuse, which is particularly acute for people of marginalized genders in India.
