Technology Facilitated Gender Based Violence

Session slides - TFGBV.pptx

There is growing global recognition of abuse in cyber space and the many harms it brings women and girls. The UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March 2023 took as its theme the subject of technology and women.

There are efforts in some jurisdictions to introduce legislative measures. But what would a good law look like? To what extent can we consider common approaches?

This discussion was led by Nighat Dad, a practicing lawyer based in Pakistan who participated in CSW. Nighat was joined by Tsitsi Matekaire ( Global Lead, End Sexual Exploitation at Equality Now).
