The issues of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), targeted hate, and violent extremism are often addressed as separate phenomena, despite their clear and growing overlap. This can challenge joined-up, targeted and effective efforts to these interconnected harms, including determining appropriate legal and policy responses.

This toolkit has been developed to support policymakers, regulators, practitioners, researchers, civil society – including victim and survivors’ organizations – and technology platforms whose work interacts with TFGBV, targeted hate and/or violent extremism.

By mapping a broad spectrum of harms relating to online misogyny against diverse avenues for policy, legal and practitioner responses, the toolkit supports more coherent, rights-respecting, and coordinated whole-of-society responses to these overlapping challenges. Rooted in a public healthbased approach to violence prevention, the toolkit focuses on opportunities for early intervention, boosting protective factors, and mainstreaming gender-transformative approaches that address harmful norms and support healthier masculinities.

Additionally, there is an Annex meant to be read in conjunction with the toolkit, whic provides further definitions and context on the TFGBV super-types of harm. The Annex also collates foundational literature, existing TFGBV taxonomies, relevant legal and policy frameworks, and jurisdictional harms landscape literature to support implementation and situate the taxonomy within broader research, policy, regulatory and practice contexts.
