I created a twitter account to spread awareness on online sexual harassment and urged individuals to take part in #FlagItDontPassIt. If you're scrolling the internet and see a comment depicting online sexual harassment instead of ignoring it, report it or flag it. While this action is simple it's inclusive and takes the power away from those making the violent statements. If enough people engage in this action inappropriate comments will be deleted and harmful users could potentially be banned from sites. 
I also created another hashtag: #ItsAReflectionOnYou. This one allows individuals to share their own stories and views on the matter and places responsibility on the perpetrator rather than the victim of online sexual harassment.
As for promotional efforts, I have posted my twitter on facebook and interacted with numerous twitter accounts to get people's attention and invite them to join the #FlagItDontPassIt action. 

Here is the link to the twitter account: https://twitter.com/stoponlineSH
