The online abuse is so frequent that the lawyer and anti-Islamophobia advocate wouldn't get any work done if she reported it all to police. "I think about the consequences of reporting, the time and effort that goes into it, the psychological impact it has on me to pursue these matters, the potential outcome and whether it's all worth it," she said.
