arXiv: Computers and SocietyInternationalHigh confidence1 min

What changed

Technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) is identified as a growing global public health crisis intersecting with other forms of gender-based violence (GBV). Survivors of TFA often seek assistance from GBV advocates who currently face knowledge gaps and barriers in effectively addressing this evolving form of abuse. A trauma-informed training program has been developed to enhance advocates' capabilities in identifying and mitigating TFA, serving as a critical capacity-building intervention.

Why it matters

The rise of technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) presents a significant challenge to public health and safety efforts globally, requiring a strategic response. Addressing the knowledge and skill gaps among Gender-Based Violence (GBV) advocates is crucial for ensuring effective support and intervention for survivors of this emerging and evolving form of violence.

What to watch

Technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) is a global public health crisis affecting millions and is often intertwined with other forms of gender-based violence (GBV).
