The TFGBV Gap Analysis validation meeting by CRAWN Trust with the support from African Women’s Development Fund, brought together key stakeholders to address the growing threat of Technology Facilitated Gender Based Violence (TFGBV) in Kenya. The presentation highlighted how Kenya’s rapid digital transformation while empowering, has also created new avenues for abuse that disproportionately impact women and girls. Drawing from extensive legal reviews, multi-sector consultations, and powerful survivor testimonies, the analysis exposed critical systemic gaps, including the absence of a clear, gender-responsive legal definition of TFGBV, limited enforcement and digital forensic capacity, fragmented institutional responses, and a lack of survivor-centered remedies such as content takedown mechanisms and compensation frameworks. The findings further revealed how emerging technologies like AI, deepfakes, and online anonymity are accelerating harm while existing laws struggle to keep pace. Survivors’ lived experiences underscored the human cost ranging from reputational damage and economic loss to mental health challenges and forced relocation often compounded by stigma and inadequate support systems. The report calls for urgent, coordinated action, including strengthening and harmonizing legal frameworks, investing in digital investigation capacity, establishing integrated multi-agency response systems, and advancing policies that prioritize survivor dignity, protection, and recovery. Ultimately, the meeting emphasized that addressing TFGBV is a shared responsibility requiring collaboration across government, civil society, and technology actors to build safer, more inclusive digital spaces in Kenya and set a global standard for action. @awdf01 @CREAWKenya @CAID_Kenya @UAFAfrica @CAREinKenya @UraiaTrust @FamilyMediaTV
