Combatting Technology Abuse

Technology enhances our lives in many ways, including making it easier to communicate and stay in touch with loved ones, but it can also be used by abusers in domestic violence relationships to facilitate harassment and control. This explainer shares some tools and legal insights to help survivors confront their abuser and use the legal system to obtain justice and safety in the face of technology abuse.

In creating this video, TalksOnLaw relied on insight from attorney advocates and domestic violence assistance organizations.  This video was made in partnership with D.V. victims advocacy organizations Sanctuary for Families and Safe Horizon and with the support of the pro bono department of the law firm, Davis Polk. Special thanks to Eboni K. Williams for volunteering her time and advocacy.
