Key Learnings 1. Technology-facilitated gender-based violence involves acts that are enabled or amplified by digital tools, resulting in physical, sexual, psychological, social, political, or economic harm, or other infringements of rights and freedoms. 2. A connection is observed between the consumption of violent or harmful digital content, such as pornography, and the commission of violent crimes, including femicide, as evidenced in several cases. 3. Breaches of Australian classification laws, including the distribution of illegal pornography without age verification safeguards, are linked to the escalation of violent offences, highlighting the role of regulatory failures in facilitating harmful behaviours.
