Technology should empower, not endanger. Yet for many women, it has become a tool of fear β€” from leaked photos to harassment, stalking, threats and even violence. This is technology-facilitated gender-based violence ( ) and it’s a growing crisis.

But the story can change. By recognizing TFGBV, supporting survivors, challenging toxic masculinity and holding platforms accountable, we can reclaim digital spaces as places of safety and empowerment.

🀝 UNDP Pakistan is raising awareness, promoting safe online practices and driving collective action for a safer, smarter β€” where no one is silenced or left behind.
