TFGBV.
Triangulation
A triangulated approach was central to this research design. By integrating data
from surveys, individual interviews (with both experts and young leaders), focus
groups, and a validating roundtable, the study cross-verifies findings from
different angles. This enhances the validity, reliability, and depth of the analysis by
mitigating the biases inherent in any single method.
Ethical-Considerations
Informed consent was obtained from all participants before their involvement. For
the survey, consent was embedded at the start of the questionnaire. For
interviews, FGDs, and the roundtable, written consent was secured. Anonymity
and confidentiality were guaranteed for all participants; all data has been
anonymized in reporting, and any personally identifiable information has been
removed. Special care was taken with vulnerable groups, particularly the young
women sharing sensitive experiences, by ensuring a safe environment and
providing access to support resources if needed.

From Online to Offline Violence: The Process of Withdrawal from Online
Spaces for Young Women
In 2020, the then Minister of Culture in Jordan, HE Dr. Basem Al-Tweise

potential of digital spaces is profoundly limited by technology-facilitated genderbased violence (TFGBV), which often targets and suppresses women's
participation.
As part of this research, which aims to examine the nature of TFGBV in the
Jordanian context, identify barriers and challenges related to combating and
