Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) is gaining significant attention from the international community as an increasingly pervasive and concerning form of gender-based violence (GBV). When we think of TFGBV, the Internet typically comes to mind. However, TFGBV encompasses a wide variety of actions and behaviours, enabled by both hardware and software, and sustained by harmful social and gender norms. 

UNFPA, together with local, national and international stakeholders and partners, has mobilized to prioritize advocacy, policy development, research and programme implementation to mitigate and respond to the increasingly urgent need to address TFGBV. This series of infographics has evolved as a result of work to communicate the meaning of TFGBV and its impact upon women and girls, who remain at the centre of all our work at UNFPA.

This booklet provides visual representations of key concepts related to TFGBV. The infographics are intended to be adapted and translated, in partnership with local GBV and digital rights partners, for use in training, awareness-raising, information, education, communications and advocacy. To facilitate their use, each infographic is presented alongside a brief explanation of its content and key messages.
