  Social media platforms aspire to create online experiences where users can
participate safely and equitably. However, women around the world experience
widespread online harassment, including insults, stalking, aggression, threats,
and non-consensual sharing of sexual photos. This article describes women's
perceptions of harm associated with online harassment and preferred platform
responses to that harm. We conducted a survey in 14 geographic regions around
the world (N = 3,993), focusing on regions whose perspectives have been
insufficiently elevated in social media governance decisions (e.g. Mongolia,
Cameroon). {Results show} that, on average, women perceive greater harm
associated with online harassment than men, especially for non-consensual image
sharing. Women also prefer most platform responses compared to men, especially
removing content and banning users; however, women are less favorable towards
payment as a response. Addressing global gender-based violence online requires
understanding how women experience online harms and how they wish for it to be
addressed. This is especially important given that the people who build and
govern technology are not typically those who are most likely to experience
online harms.
