CLASS DESCRIPTION
For many young people, violence does not begin or end on the screen. It moves through the same hierarchies that shape the world, of gender, age, class, sexuality, and race, and is written into the technologies they use every day. They know these contradictions intimately. The internet can be both refuge and risk: a place to find solidarity, to speak freely, and to face harm that reaches into every corner of life. Yet their voices are rarely heard, especially when it comes to young people in all their diversity across Global Majority settings.
Young people are already reshaping what safety, justice, and accountability can look like. In Pakistan, a youth-led organisation builds peer-to-peer tools to prevent online violence. In Nepal and the Philippines, adolescents lead digital rights workshops that reach their schools before policies do. Across the Asia-Pacific, feminist and Queer networks create community safety systems and are innovating the future of the technology sector. Their work shows what can be done when it is built with and for those most affected.
This lecture is a bringing together of research across nine countries Global Majority settings on how TFGBV is impacting young people from 13-25. It particularly highlights the patterns and trends of girls and gender-expansive youth, as well the recommendations they have shared for what we can do about the issues they are facing. How can we serve as partners, advocates and allies in co-creating a world where TFGBV is prevented and its response systems are contextually grounded, child- and- survivor centered and meaningfully intersectional. A sneak peek into what this looks like: listening to young people, respecting their leadership, and dismantling the structures that continue to fail them. They are already showing us what accountability and care can look like. The task now is to follow their lead.
