AGIR CONTRE LA VIOLENCE DE GENRE FACILITÉE PAR LES TECHNOLOGIES

The document is a comprehensive guide designed to help individuals and groups identify, monitor, and act against technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). It defines various forms of digital abuse, analyzes the current media landscape, and provides a detailed manual for manual social media monitoring to identify misogyny that AI algorithms often miss. The toolkit also includes a strategic action plan model and a code of conduct for safe meeting environments.

• Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) manifests in numerous forms, including doxing (publishing private information), sextortion (threatening to publish sexual content for money or favors), and the use of AI to create 'deepfakes' (realistic but false videos).
• Digital violence can have severe consequences, including the erosion of democracy, psychological distress leading to suicide, and the silencing of women in the public sphere, which further widens the gender digital divide.
• The document identifies specific groups at higher risk of TFGBV, including young women, public figures such as journalists and politicians, and women from marginalized sectors, including those with disabilities and ethnic or racial minorities.
• Manual social media monitoring is presented as a necessary supplement to AI, as AI is often limited to specific keywords and may miss 'microagressions'—succinct, repetitive, and belittling content.
• The toolkit provides a specific quantitative and qualitative methodology for monitoring misogyny on platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok, focusing on high-profile women and using a standardized coding sheet to track hate speech and target demographics.
• The current media landscape is characterized by a concentration of ownership, where 90% of US media were controlled by five conglomerates in 2021, and a shift in advertising revenue toward 'Big Tech' companies like Google and Meta.
• The document emphasizes that digital rights are human rights applied online, and 'digital justice' involves protecting individuals and groups from human rights violations via the internet.
