Abstract:
Digital inclusion cannot advance without online safety. Technology-facilitated gender-based violence and femicide (TFGBVF), including harassment, algorithmic discrimination, image-based abuse, and cyberstalking is escalating. Unless G20 nations embed digital safety across all policy domains, women and girls will continue to be silenced and excluded. This brief puts forward four recommendations for G20 governments under South Africa’s 2025 Presidency. Together, they combine economic rationale with a rights-based imperative, and position digital safety and TFGBVF prevention as the foundation for inclusive innovation.
