This resource sets out the evidence base on technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), an assessment of evidence gaps, and emerging research priorities. It also sets out some of the key methodological and ethical challenges in accessing and collecting data on TFGBV. The resource primarily focuses on TFGBV against women and girls in all their diversity, applying an intersectional gender lens to explore the disproportionate impacts of TFGBV on women and girls, including those who experience intersecting forms of oppression, including lesbian, bisexual, queer, and trans women.
As well as highlighting the different and evolving forms of TFGBV, the resource sets out the current state of the evidence base with a focus on: global and regional prevalence, who is disproportionately affected, risk and protective factors, societal and individual impacts, accessing justice, perpetrator profiles and behaviours, and the role of online service providers.
