Toolkit for Trainers and Advocates

Copublication of WACC and WCC.

The Toolkit equips trainers and advocates to plan and facilitate training sessions on monitoring misogyny on social media.

Taking Action Against Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence outlines key concepts, with practical exercises, to raise participants’ awareness of gender cyberviolence. It presents the tools needed to conduct social media monitoring, report on the results, and plan further monitoring.

The toolkit is divided into five sections that facilitators can use to structure training sessions:

  • Today’s media landscape
  • Impact of tech-facilitated gender-based violence
  • Methodology of social media monitoring
  • Social media monitoring in practice
  • Action plan for participants
