Online violence against girls and women must be acknowledged and prevented as a manifestation of the systemic marginalisation of women throughout society, by enhancing the use of and access to digital technologies, to promote women empowerment in digital skills. 

Further, preventing violence against women from digital and online platforms has the net effect of strengthening freedom of expression as it creates an environment that allows the individuals, especially girls or women who face most discrimination in other public spaces, to participate through the use of media and digital technologies.

In this workshop, we will explore typology of digital gender-based violence in participants' local realities. Hence, the goal is to identify the nature/type of digital gender-based violence in various contexts based on culture, gender norms or state policies, and human rights violations they are associated with and how to prevent them. Thus, on a successful completion of this workshop:

1. participants are familiar with analysing and preventing digital gender-based violence from a human rights perspective:
2. they will have acquired the skills for assessing and framing a problem, creating proactive solutions to digital discrimination targeting women or limiting their use of and access to digital technology in Online environment.
