Inclusive and Accessible Bystander Interventions for Technology Facilitated Sexual Violence

Addressing the severity and prevalence of technology facilitated sexual violence against women is a matter of great social importance. It is also imperative that these antiviolence initiatives be inclusive and accessible to avoid perpetuating further systemic injustices. This position paper argues that a bystander intervention approach which engages male allies in combatting TFSV is an underutilized but potentially effective strategy. Furthermore, we highlight the need for meaningful participation from people with disability and neurodiversity in the design and delivery of such initiatives.
