Technology-facilitated violence against women and girls
Brief Description

Collaborative efforts between government and CSOs contribute to enhance resource availability and outreach effectiveness. The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology initiated a digital literacy program to raise awareness about online violence, aiming to educate the public on recognizing and responding to technology-facilitated violence. Surveys and feedback mechanisms are used to measure increased awareness and knowledge about online violence and found that regular updates and inclusive content are essential for effective literacy programs. Through an MoU between the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP) and SafeNet, a collaboration on protecting women from online violence was conducted, primarily focusing on preparing guidelines, conducting research, and increasing literacy. In 2020 SafeNet and Advocates Collective for Gender Justice published a guide to increase awareness among media managers and the general public about legal services and protections available to victims of online violence.
