The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the
Wilson Center’s Science and Technology Innovation
Program held a three-day expert symposium on
technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TF GBV)
with stakeholders from civil society, academia, the
technology industry, government, regulation, and
intergovernmental organizations and representatives
from every continent, including over 25 countries.
The purpose of the symposium was to: (1) provide
a platform for exchanging knowledge and good
practices by civil society organizations and technology
companies to address TF GBV; (2) identify challenges
and opportunities to advance progress; and (3) foster
collaboration and partnerships between actors in the
TF GBV space, to create innovative solutions that
comprehensively address the issue.
