Understanding Experiences of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence

Abstract

The Philippines is a vibrant hub of online activity in today’s digitally connected world, with a large segment of its population engaged in social media and e-commerce platforms. However, within this digital landscape women entrepreneurs face significant challenges, including technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), which perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes. This report combines existing data with survey results and other research to fill critical gaps in understanding TFGBV’s impact on women entrepreneurs and the Philippines’ digital economy. The report and the accompanying infographic were written and designed by the University of Philippines Center for Women’s Studies Foundation Inc., with support from the Center for International Private Enterprise and the National Endowment for Democracy.
