Democratic Republic of Congo: Exploring technology-related violence against women - "A reputation destroyed"
Democratic Republic of Congo: Exploring technology-related violence against women - "A reputation destroyed"
This report emerges from research carried out in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) between November 2013 and April 2014 by Si Jeunesse Savait and the Association for Progressive Communications (APC). Mobile phones had been the most frequently involved platform in the cases of technology-related VAW explored by the local research team. In all three of the cases, the survivors were victim to multiple acts of violence, either by the same person or different people who, for the most part, were in better control of the technology than the victims.
