TOMAR MEDIDAS CONTRA LA VIOLENCIA DE GÉNERO FACILITADA POR LA TECNOLOGÍA

The document is a toolkit designed to combat technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). It defines various forms of digital abuse, analyzes the current media landscape, and provides a detailed manual for the manual monitoring of misogyny on social media platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok to generate data for the Ecumenical Gender and Media Observatory.

• Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) encompasses a wide range of abuses, including doxing, sextortion, hacking, and the use of AI-generated deepfakes to produce realistic but false images or videos of individuals.
• Digital violence can have impacts as severe as offline violence, resulting in psychological damage such as depression and suicide, economic harm to professional life, and the undermining of democracy by silencing women in public discourse.
• Women in public roles—such as politicians, journalists, and human rights activists—as well as young girls and women from marginalized groups (including ethnic minorities and sexual minorities), are at the highest risk of TFGBV.
• Global data on TFGBV is inconsistent due to a lack of consensus on definitions and methodologies; however, some reports indicate prevalence rates between 16% and 58% depending on the demographic and the questions asked.
• The document argues that manual monitoring of social media is superior to AI-based screening for identifying 'microaggressions' and subtle misogynistic content that often escapes algorithmic detection.
• The toolkit establishes a specific quantitative and qualitative methodology for monitoring misogyny on X, Instagram, and TikTok, focusing on high-profile women and coding posts for categories such as sexual harassment, domination, and disqualification.
• The current digital media landscape is characterized by extreme concentration of ownership, with 90% of US media controlled by five conglomerates as of 2021, which impacts the diversity and reliability of information.
