Technology-facilitated gender-based violence takes many forms including sextortion (blackmail by threatening to publish sexual information, photos or videos).

TFGBV is increasingly being misused and weaponised against women and girls on the basis of their gender.

It may occur online but also manifests in physical spaces, including femicide.

UNFPA says it is actively combating TFGBV by providing survivors with the response services when and where they need it.
