Combatting
Gender-Based Violence

From survivor-centred prevention to trailblazing research, we confront the digital gender-based violence that silences women and shrinks civic space.

Digital GBV is a human rights violation that harms individuals and communities—silencing women and shrinking civic space. Across MENA, we’ve supported frontline organizations and targeted groups, including female journalists, civic and political leaders, and activists, to confront digital GBV. We’ve helped catalyze organizations working on the front lines to combat online GBV. Since 2022, our Salam@ team has convened locally-driven research on the psychosocial and legal dimensions of digital GBV across nearly every MENA country—often producing first-ever national datasets, while significantly expanding the world’s Arabic-language research library on digital GBV.
