Brief Description

As part of the Denmark-led ‘Technology for Democracy’ initiative, the Global Partnership was founded by Denmark and the US and have in 2023 continued its mission to form an action coalition of countries, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to better prioritize, understand, prevent, and address the growing scourge of technology-facilitated gender-based violence. It was established in response to the pivotal need to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence as part of a shared global agenda to promote peace, security, and stability – recognizing that the chilling effects of online harassment and abuse on the civic and political participation of women, girls, and LGBTQI+ persons undermine this agenda.
