THE Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) urges the Communications Ministry to take seriously tech- facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) following the death of TikToker and activist Rajeswary “Esha” Appahu.
TFGBV is defined by the United Nations Population Fund as any act of violence that is committed, assisted, aggravated, and amplified in part or fully by the use of information and communication technologies or digital media, often disproportionately towards women, girls, and other minorities, with impacts on mental health and well-being.
