flag 80% of Canadian university students experience online abuse, and only 20% of universities address technology-facilitated sexual violence in their programs.

flag Canadian institutions are struggling to adapt their policies and programs to address technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV), as 80% of Canadian university students have experienced at least one form of online abuse. flag TFSV encompasses various online harassment methods, including non-consensual sexual imagery, cyberstalking, and spreading misogynistic narratives through social media. flag While efforts to combat gender-based discrimination, abuse, and sexual violence have increased, institutions have not kept up with the rapid pace of technological advancements. flag Only one-fifth of the 81 Canadian universities and community-based organizations surveyed addressed TFSV in their anti-violence education or training programs, due to limited resources, time for front-line workers, and limited access to resources translating research into practice. flag Sustained support is needed to help Canadian institutions adapt to the changing landscape of TFSV and online abuse.
