â Fiona Harms

"Author Fiona Harms Speaks at Rally on the Market Square"
LĂźbeck - City Center: Author Fiona Harms will speak on March 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the LĂźbeck Market Square during a rally against sexualized and digital violence. Harms primarily addresses cyber-grooming, the targeted initiation of sexualized violence by adults against children and adolescents in digital spaces.
"Cyber-grooming is not a marginal phenomenon, but a real danger to children and youth in everyday life. We need more education, more safe spaces, and a society that looks closely," says Harms.
Furthermore, Harms founded the Schutzschild Verlag and is developing additional formats for education and prevention regarding digital violence. This also includes the educational app "Filter of Truth â ChatSim".
