Panellists will discuss the impacts of technology-facilitated violence on equality seeking groups and explore the need for multi-faceted responses grounded in experiences of intersecting systems of oppression that move beyond criminal law reform and recognize the role played by individuals, communities, governments, and industry both in fostering and responding to technology-facilitated violence.
