Digital Violence Is Abuse With a Glow Up | 16 Days of Activism with ReLove

Digital violence is not just happening online — it’s reshaping lives offline. In this 16 Days of Activism episode, we explore the hidden and fast-evolving reality of tech-facilitated gender-based violence, financial abuse, and coercive control. Experts and advocates, Yasmin London, Ren Fernando, Amanda Thompson, and Catherine Fitzpatrick unpack how everyday technology — from phones and bank accounts to smart devices and social platforms — is being misused to harm women and families. This conversation covers: Real stories from the frontlines of domestic and financial abuse How technology amplifies control, surveillance, and intimidation Why leaving abuse is often the most dangerous moment The responsibility of businesses to design safer systems How community-led organisations like Relove restore dignity, safety, and choice With nearly half of women fearing for their safety, this episode is a call to awareness, accountability, and collective action. If you care about safer technology, gender equality, and real-world solutions — this conversation matters.
