520 _aThis repository reflects UN Women’s work addressing a critical and growing form of violence that disproportionately affects women and girls worldwide. Technology-facilitated violence against women and girls (TF VAWG) includes any act committed or amplified through digital means, leading to physical, sexual, psychological, economic, or social harm. Rooted in power imbalances, patriarchy, and misogyny, TF VAWG not only exacerbates existing forms of violence like harassment and intimate partner violence but has also led to the emergence of new forms of abuse, especially in the rapidly digitalizing world. UN Women leads, convenes, and shapes the development of resources in this repository, focusing on closing gaps in knowledge, data, and implementation that hinder effective prevention and response. This collection of materials supports efforts to bridge research gaps, strengthen normative frameworks, adapt essential services to support survivors, and engage men and boys in transforming harmful social norms.

526 _aThe digital revolution and the uptake of online information and communications technologies have both positive and negative gendered impacts. On the one hand, online spaces and digital tools can facilitate access to essential information and services, unleashing educational and employment opportunities for women and girls. But on the other hand, for those who are online and do have access, a growing body of evidence sheds light on the ways in which the digital revolution has exacerbated existing, and even created new, forms of gendered inequalities and oppression, including technology-facilitated violence against women. Despite a growing evidence base and accelerated efforts to develop fit-for-purpose quantitative and qualitative research and data collection methods, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the scale and particular manifestations of technology-facilitated violence against women, including how women who face intersecting forms of discrimination experience or resist it. Based on a scoping study, this paper offers a landscape scan highlighting what is known about technology-facilitated violence against women, who is currently generating this knowledge, and how the evidence is being produced. The paper also highlights some of the related methodological, ethical, and sociopolitical challenges to collecting data on technology-facilitated violence against women. As a way forward, actions for strengthening knowledge generation and data collection are proposed, including recommendations on methods and further research. (From the website). Record #8152
