URGENT: AI, smart tech and social media are giving abusers terrifying new ways to target women. Sign now to demand action >>

Deepfake AI videos. Stalking via smart glasses. Social media harassment. Abusers are increasingly using tech to control and tighten their grip on women’s lives.

In fact, 1 in 3 women say they've faced some form of online violence.

But for the women experiencing this abuse, it’s not only about what happens online. It's about being watched. Tracked. Made to feel like there’s nowhere you can go where your abuser can’t reach you - even when the relationship ends. 

This has to change. The government should be doing far more to force big tech companies to make their products safe by design and prevent this abuse. 

But with new tools and technologies emerging all the time, the risks to women's safety are escalating fast.

We urgently need stronger laws to stop abusers using tech to target women. If you agree, add your name now to help pile on the pressure for change >>
