"From coercive control through devices to online harassment, cyber bullying, stalking, grooming, revenge porn and other exploitation, technology-facilitated abuse is on the rise."

How does digital abuse affect children and young people?

Today’s world of technology and social media has altered the world of cyber crime, particularly in relation to stalking.

If you are being subjected to digital abuse, help is available.

Depending on whether or not you are living with the person who is harming you, you may choose to take different steps. Make sure it is safe before taking any of these actions.

Technology has transformed how we connect, work, and express ourselves. But it has also created new spaces for abuse.

Creating “deepfakes” with AI is one issue that is becoming more concerning.

How can you support a survivor who has disclosed to the police?

As domestic abuse response workers, we sometimes meet survivors following them reporting abuse to the police. Often this can be their first time disclosing digital abuse.
