DESCRIPTION:Misogyny and domestic abuse are old problems\, but tech compan
 ies have enabled these harms to grow and proliferate on their platforms in
  new forms\, such as social media harassment\, cyberstalking\, and deepfak
 e intimate image abuse. This talk will summarise my work to build better s
 ystems for survivors of online gender-based violence across academia\, adv
 ocacy\, and policy. In my DPhil\,  I argued that due to its engineering f
 ocus on defending networks and information\, cybersecurity neglects the hu
 man element\, and particularly differences in power and relationships betw
 een humans that produce (in)security. I developed a new method\, participa
 tory threat modelling\, which brings marginalised people and civil society
  groups into the process of systematically assessing digital security thre
 ats. As a part of the work\, I co-founded a research collective named re:c
 onfigure\, which ran feminist digital security workshops with groups such 
 as survivors of intimate image abuse\, environmental activists\, and migra
 nt domestic workers. After my PhD\, I worked at the online safety charity 
 Glitch\, I managed the delivery of and co-authored a quantitative research
  study on digital misogynoir (hate directed at Black women) across multipl
 e tech platforms\, including Meta\, X/Twitter\, and 4chan. I am now workin
 g as Senior Associate at Ofcom\, the regulator in charge of implementing t
 he UK’s Online Safety Act\, to put this evidence into guidance for indus
 try on online violence against women and girls.\n\nZoom link: https://cam-
