So many women around the world face technology-facilitated gender-based violence, but why aren't they taken seriously?

The research shows that technology and online platforms are being increasingly used to harm women and other vulnerable groups, such as LGBTQI+ individuals. This is part of a pervasive culture that infiltrates workplaces, schools, and homes, making it difficult for individuals to escape.

The study has also found that legislation has been introduced in multiple countries to tackle TFGBV, but some of these laws actually put a survivor of TFGBV at risk of being charged with a crime under competing and conflicting laws.
