Online conference: The digital dimension of violence against women

The rapid development of information and communication technologies opens up new avenues for violence against women and girls, exposing them to more risks of being abused. The Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO) defines and outlines the problem, and provides practical guidance on how to combat online and technology-facilitated violence effectively in its first General Recommendation.

Organizers: ACF operators Bodossaki Foundation, SolidarityNow and NGO Support Centre and GrantXpert, in cooperation with the Council of Europe and the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, as coordinator of the EEA and Norway Grants SYNERGY Network against Gender-based and Domestic Violence.
