Dubai, March 8, On the occasion of International Women's Day, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday announced that it will launch a dedicated in-tournament social media monitoring initiative to ensure the digital sport's channels are a safer space for women to enjoy free from sexism, misogyny or threats of gender-based violence.

The pledge comes on the back of recent episodes of gender-based digital abuse during the ICC U19 and senior Women's T20 World Cups.
