Submit a short position paper (or submission in a different format representing a similar level of effort) in response to one of the following guiding questions by 30th August 2025 using this linked form.
Based on your experience, what are the key aspects of sociotechnical systems that contribute to tech-facilitated gender-based violence? What are the appropriate controls that would help mitigate this dynamic? What trade-offs might come with these controls, including how these controls might influence the risk of other harms beyondTFGBV?
What examples exist of effective interventions for TFGBV? How were these interventions designed? How do weknow that they were impactful? Were there any unintended consequences?
Thinking at a system level, what metrics and indicators are necessary to understand whether a system is operating within what we would consider "safe bounds" when it comes to the risk of TFGBV? For a given sociotechnical system, what data would we need to evaluate the relative safety of system in the context of TFGBV?
What research and/or data are we missing that is necessary to develop a systemic risk literacy for TFGBV? What future research directions are of highest priority? Where do we feel like we have sufficient evidence? What is necessary to make the translation between foundational research and effective real world implementation of protections?
We are looking for submissions up to 750 words, a five-minute slide presentation, infographic, design fiction, or other format that represents a similar amount of effort. Submissions will be evaluated on how well they demonstrate potential participant’s familiarity and ability to contribute to discussions on the topic area.
Due to the sensitive nature of the topic area and anticipated discussions, we will not be hosting participant submissions publicly, and the discussions will take place under Chatham House Rules. After the event, we will circulate a high-level overview of major discussion points without individual attribution.
Please note that at least one author of accepted submissions needs to attend the workshop. All participants will register for the workshop, and attend at least one day of the conference.
