In Brief: International Conference on Addressing Technology-Facilitated Violence Against Women

As digital spaces increasingly shape our lives, technology-facilitated violence against women (TFVAW) is emerging as a critical global issue. To drive stronger responses, UN Women’s Knowledge and Partnerships Centre, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family of the Republic of Korea, and the Women’s Human Rights Institute of Korea co-hosted an international conference in Seoul in July 2024. This new brief, also supported by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, captures the key insights, challenges, and promising practices shared by experts, policymakers, and civil society. From AI-driven abuse to the urgent need for standard definitions and cross-border cooperation, the publication outlines actionable recommendations to strengthen data, legislation, and survivor-centered responses.
