Topics covered in the guide:

  • What is tech-facilitated gender-based violence, who does it affect and what is the impact?

  • Practical steps for applying the Safety by Design principles to mitigate the risks
  • Case studies from industry with examples of technical interventions, processes and practices that can mitigate the risks of tech-facilitated gender-based violence.
