Join our Nordic-Baltic experts as they discuss the weak points and top priorities when it comes to safeguarding human rights and gender equality online.

The Nordic and Baltic regions are two of the most digitalised regions in the world. In recent years, the countries have been quick to respond to technology-facilitated gender-based violence.

However, hate and violence are always finding new outlets, with society’s response always one step behind.
So, what are the blind spots in the prevention of o technology-facilitated gender-based violence from the perspective of researchers, civil society, and those most affected?
