Today is Safer Internet Day 2020 💻
Did you know, technology-facilitated abuse is a form of domestic violence? Abusers can control, stalk and harass their victims using technology 📲
This includes behaviours such as
▪️ Sending abusive text messages or emails
▪️ Making continuous threatening phone calls
▪️ Spying on and monitoring victims through the use of tracking systems
▪️ Abusing victims through social media sites
▪️ Sharing intimate images of someone without their consent
▪️ Using technology to control or manipulate home appliances, locks and other connected devices
Technology-facilitated abuse has significant and very real impacts ⚠️
