A collection of digital resources to help women experiencing technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
This catalogue offers a selection of tools and resources to help women address online or digital violence directed at them because of their gender identity, referred to as technology facilitated gender based violence. The tools in the catalogue provide self-identified women with information and recommended actions to prevent, respond to, and recover from forms of technology facilitated gender based violence. While the tools are applicable for women generally, the catalogue focuses on offering useful tools to women who participate in public and political life, such as politicians, journalists, activists, human rights defenders, or influencers.

What is the purpose of this digital catalogue?
To improve women’s access to tools and resources that provide support when coping with, addressing, and building resilience to technology facilitated gender based violence.
What is available in the catalogue?
The catalogue provides a select set of tools organized into categories of Prevention, Response, and Recovery. The tools were selected based on the types of information or resources they offer, the responsiveness of the tools to the forms of technology facilitated gender based violence women encounter, and the quality and utility of the tools. The tools and resources range from non-judgmental to survivor-centered approaches for how they address aspects of experiences that women in public and political life describe regarding technology facilitated gender based violence. The majority of the tools included in this catalogue are free of cost, while some require registration or log in credentials to access.
How do I use the catalogue?
Under each category, the resources or tools are listed on cards that flip front to back when hovered over (on a computer) or tapped (on a mobile device). The front of the cards provide a short descriptions of the tool or resource and the languages in which it is available. Additional details are provided on the back of the cards with information about accessing the tool or resource, such as if additional clicks or downloads are required after clicking on the GO TO SITE button beneath each card.

Will there be more tools added to the catalogue?
The majority of the tools and resources currently in the catalogue were originally designed in English, although many are offered in additional languages. Many of the resources are currently in the Prevention category, with fewer resources available under Response and Recovery. Additional tools will be added to the catalogue over the coming months that reflect a greater diversity of languages, that respond to Response and Recovery needs, that address how technology facilitated gender based violence operates in different social contexts, and that are specifically tailored for different groups of women in public and political life.
