Privacy For Her addresses the gender-based inequalities surrounding digital privacy rights, focusing on the disproportionate violations experienced by women in digital spaces. These include forms of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) such as cyber harassment, surveillance, non-consensual data use, and intimate image abuse. Drawing on case studies from countries including Turkey, Italy, Nigeria, and Egypt, as well as research from NGOs and feminist organizations, the project highlights how women’s privacy is routinely violated and how legal frameworks often remain incomplete, reactive, or culturally biased. These violations not only compromise women’s safety and dignity but also limit their freedom of expression and equal participation in media and public life, raising urgent questions for democracy and digital rights.
The project combines qualitative case analysis, policy review, and comparative research to map out patterns of digital privacy violations and explore potential solutions. While challenges included limited access to case data, inconsistent legal terminology, and language barriers, the collaborative student team developed a multilingual website to maximize accessibility and awareness. Targeting young women, students, educators, activists, and policymakers, Privacy For Her seeks to amplify feminist perspectives on digital privacy and advocate for stronger protections. By clarifying complex issues and connecting localized cases with global debates, the project contributes to building a more inclusive, secure, and equitable digital environment for women.
