Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) is the extension of offline gender-based violence into digital spaces through apps, phones, messaging platforms, and other online tools. In this youth-focused session, participants explored the forms of harm they experience online and shared practical responses such as reporting, blocking, and supporting peers. Their voices highlight the urgency of addressing TFGBV, with 58% of adolescents experiencing some form of online gender-based violence before age 14. UNFPA works to educate and equip communities with the knowledge and tools needed to mitigate risks and help prevent occurrences of TFGBV, while empowering young people to lead awareness and promote safer digital practices. Together, we can build safer online spaces for all. #16Days #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #CaribbeanAgainstGBV Partners & Contributors: We extend our deepest gratitude to the individuals, agencies and organisations that made this campaign possible: Global Affairs Canada The Canadian High Commission (Trinidad and Tobago) Ms. Joanna Kazana-Wisniowiecki, UN Resident Coordinator The Children’s Authority of Trinidad and Tobago The Cybercrime and Social Media Unit, Trinidad and Tobago Police Service The Gender Affairs Division, Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services The National Carnival Commission (Use of the Grand Stand wall for the mural) Ms. Chantal La Roche, Director, Legal Services, Parliament of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Nimah Muwakil-Zakuri, Project Consultant Lucille Nathu, Project Assistant Millenial Studios Limited, Videography Ayrïd By Design, Graphic Design Michelle Isava, Artist (Zine Workshop) Nadya Shah, Lead Mural Artist Chioke Herbert, Collaborating Artist Richard Taylor, Collaborating Artist Brandon Hilton-Clarke, Collaborating Artist Joanne Harris, Catering Carol Duprey, Catering Kamaria Charles Richards, Pannist Gabrielle Jackson, Spokesperson for Student Volunteers Andrea Jackson, Volunteer Parent Other Student Volunteers For more about UNFPA's work in the Caribbean, visit: https://caribbean.unfpa.org/en Follow UNFPA Sub Regional Office for the Caribbean here: Facebook: / unfpacaribbean Instagram: / unfpacaribbean X: / unfpacaribbean
