Technology- Facilitated Gender- Based Violence: Preliminary Landscape Analysis

Date published

01 Jul 2023

This report examines technology-facilitated gender-based violence, highlighting the impacts of online violence towards women and girls in their interaction with social and political spaces, as well as the impacts towards their physical and mental health. With emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, we are seeing a greater digital divide between genders and an increase in the weaponisation of technology against women and girls.

This intersectional resource is sourced as part of the Global Partnership for Action on Gender-Based Online Harassment and was recently presented at a webinar addressing measurement gaps of gender-based violence issues in online spaces hosted by UN Women on July 11.
