The article discusses a report from the Dutch NGO Rutgers that reveals the alarming rise of "technology-facilitated gender-based violence" (TFGBV) against women globally. The report emphasizes that online abuse is often linked to offline violence, with technology being used by abusers to exert control over women and girls. While violence against women is widespread, the report highlights that TFGBV is often not taken seriously, leading to underreporting and inadequate legal protection for victims.
