Study Reveals Technology-Facilitated Violence Against Women
A recent study published in the journal Violence Against Women surveyed 19 victim-survivor support practitioners and interviewed five across nine Pacific Island nations, finding smartphones, Facebook and AI-generated sexualised deepfakes are used to control and harm women and girls. The researchers report device-sharing, cultural taboos, and poor police responses exacerbate tech-facilitated abuse, suggesting training, culturally sensitive education, and faith-community engagement are needed.
