Technology- Facilitated Gender-Based Violence
What is Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence?
Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) is a form of gender-based violence that takes place on digital platforms (e.g., social media, online forums) or is aided by the use of technology.
​
TFGBV targets women and girls as well as transgender, gender diverse, and gender non-conforming individuals.
​
While TFGBV primarily takes place online, its harm can spread into physical spaces. With our increasing reliance on technology, TFGBV is becoming more widespread and harder to escape.
