Join us on July 16th for an online discussion on Law Reform Approaches to Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence and Abuse

Content Warning: This session will feature discussions of sexual violence and harassment.

Dear Friend,

After the success of our June panel “Cybermisogyny in Times of COVID-19 and Beyond” with YWCA Canada, we are pleased to offer another webinar on the topic of technology-facilitated gender-based violence and (TFGBVA).

With social distancing measures in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital spaces have become a primary location for many people to maintain their personal and professional relationships. Our increased reliance on digital spaces necessitates a systemic response to technology-facilitated gender-based violence and abuse (TFGBVA) more than ever.

This panel will explore how Canadian law has addressed TFGBVA through civil remedies. Panelists will also discuss the upcoming research report from LEAF that explores the role digital platforms play in TFGBVA, and how such platforms might be held accountable or liable for such harms in Canadian law.

This session is co-hosted with the Ontario Bar Association’s Women Lawyers Forum.

Date & Time: Thursday, July 16, 12-1pm EST via Zoom

Confirmed speakers:
* Cynthia Khoo, Researcher for LEAF’s Technology-Facilitated Violence Project
* Jane Bailey, University of Ottawa Faculty of Law
* Molly Reynolds, Torys LLP

Moderator: Rosel Kim, Staff Lawyer, LEAF

Program Chair: Richa Sandill, Scarborough Community Legal Services
