In today’s digital era, technology offers immense possibilities, however, it has also created new pathways for harm. Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) is the extension of offline violence into online spaces through the use of apps, devices, and digital platforms.
In this video, Titian Rose Whittle, Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Specialist at the UNFPA Caribbean, highlights the growing impact of TFGBV and our regional efforts to strengthen prevention, support survivors, and promote safer digital environments.
Through partnerships with ECLAC, UN Women, and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, UNFPA is advancing research, youth engagement, and awareness initiatives, including our 16 Days of Activism campaign and a regional study on women in public life.
As we mark the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, UNFPA remains committed to protecting the rights and wellbeing of women, girls, and young people, online and offline.
Together, we can build a safer digital future for all.
