Technology Facilitated Gender-Based Violence: Strategies to Support Victims, Improve Legal Responses, and Foster Systemic Change
Technology Facilitated Gender-Based Violence: Strategies to Support Victims, Improve Legal Responses, and Foster Systemic Change
Various forms of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), such as the non-consensual distribution of intimate images (including intimate imagery generated with AI tools), cyberstalking, and sextortion, are increasingly widespread. The devastating consequences of online abuse are often overlooked or minimized, while survivors encounter significant barriers to safety, services, and support.
Join us for this virtual convening to learn about key resources, promising practices in advocacy, and the enactment and implementation of recent legislation (such as the Take It Down Act), as well as other efforts nationally and globally to prevent and address online abuse.
