Over the last few years, technology has been increasingly used as a method of gender-based violence (GBV) in Canada, whether that is through the use of generative AI or social media creating spaces of vulnerability for those at risk of being targeted.

In this session, panelists will discuss the ways in which technology is being used as a tool of GBV, policies and practices around addressing technology-faciliated GBV, and possible solutions that can be implemented from both corporations and governments.

This session is the second of four offerings in an online learning and discussion series focused on:

hearing directly from young people;
engaging in dialogue with peers, stakeholders, and decision makers; and
exploring recommendations for effective protections and rights-based digital policies in Canada.
