DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nTechnology-facilitated gender-based violence is a s
 erious problem in the internet era. As our lives become more digitally med
 iated\, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic\, rates of online violen
 ce have significantly increased. Across Canada\, there are criminal and ci
 vil responses to this form of violence. However\, there continue to be sig
 nificant gaps in law and access to justice for victims/survivors of techno
 logy-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). This lecture will provide 
 an overview of the various forms of TFGBV and the existing laws that addre
 ss them. It will then examine potential avenues for legal reform\, includi
 ng more responsive options for victims/survivors of non-consensual distrib
 ution of intimate images and the regulation of social media content modera
 tion. \n\nBio\n\nAssistant Professor Suzie Dunn\, Civil\, Criminal\, and A
