Working group on gender-based violence CEDAW Committee: Initial position paper tech-facilitated gender-based violence against women

Technology-facilitated gender-based violence against women (TFGBVAW) is a growing concern, posing a unique challenge due to its pervasiveness. This initial position paper, prepared in support of the Working Group on Gender-based Violence against Women under the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), aims to comprehensively explore this issue and scrutinize TFGBVAW, which some practitioners are calling the next pandemic. In response to the relentless evolution of TFGBVAW, this living document demands continuous adaptation.
