Technology to Tackle Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies

UNICEF, IRC, and CARE are pleased to announce a breakout session focused on using digital to tackle gender-based violence at the Digital Development Forum 2021 on May 5th, 2021, 8 am GMT.

The session will build on how COVID-19 and related containment measures have triggered a shadow pandemic of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) which threatens the safety and well-being of millions and girls and women. Digital solutions have now begun to pave the way to allow us to tackle gender-based violence but along with its advantages, they can also facilitate violence.

You will get to hear from three leading humanitarian organizations who will be sharing specific examples from their experience in this space and what they have learned through the process.

The details of the speakers are as follows:

Abeera Akhtar, GBV Technology Products Manager, UNICEF;

Caroline Masboungi, Information Management and Case Management Specialist, UNICEF;

Dina Hanania, Emergencies Knowledge Management Specialist, CARE;

Kristy Crabtree, Information Management and Technology Senior Advisor, IRC
