Dublin Conference to Address Tech-Facilitated Sexual Violence
Published
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) and Ruhama will hold a joint conference later this month to discuss tech-facilitated sexual violence. Tech-facilitated sexual violence is a term used for abuse that happens through digital tools, such as phones, social media, and the internet.
The conference will take place on 27 November at the Law Society of Ireland in Dublin. The event brings together two organisations that support people affected by sexual violence and exploitation in Ireland. By holding the conference at the Law Society, the organisers are also making the topic relevant to legal professionals, who often deal with cases involving online abuse.
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre provides support, information and counselling to people who have experienced sexual violence. Ruhama works with women affected by sex trafficking, prostitution and related harm. Both organisations have said that digital abuse is becoming a growing concern, and this conference aims to increase awareness of the issue.
Anyone who wants more information about the conference is advised to contact the organisers directly or check the Law Society of Ireland's website for details about registration.
