“Technology-facilitated Gender Violence (TFGV) takes many forms, some akin to the pictures shared from people’s social media posts at the exhibition, and others more overt or insidious, including surveillance, cyberbullying, stalking, doxxing, non-consensual sharing of images, etc. There are as many forms as there are cases/reports of abuse and abusers. Every day, with the advancement of technology and the permeation of AI into our existence, new ways of harassing/abusing women are being invented.”
“Despite the ways in which these tech companies have bastardized “community” while simultaneously avoiding all accountability for the harm they cause, feminists have, as always, stepped up. It is feminists who continue to frame online violence as part of the everyday violence womxn experience. It is feminists who respond to this scourge with quick-witted, fiery posts that dismantle misogynistic ideas and uplift womxn. It is feminist community supporting survivors and putting in place solutions beyond carceral and punitive approaches.”
