Technology-Facilitated Abuse in Intimate Relationships — Informational Meeting with Young People

A meeting on the topic of technology-facilitated abuse in intimate relationships was held with the participation of young people living near the dividing line between the Tsalenjikha and Zugdidi municipalities. The session was facilitated by Emma Kamkia and psychologist Eka Kvachakidze.

Together with the young participants, we discussed how violence manifests in digital spaces and how technology can become a tool of control and pressure. The conversation focused on the warning signs of digital abuse, its psycho-emotional and social consequences, as well as existing legal protection and support mechanisms.

In the practical part, participants received information on protecting personal accounts, properly preserving digital evidence, and ways to seek help when needed.

Participants noted:
“I used to think online control was just jealousy. Now I understand that it is a form of abuse.”
“The most important thing was learning that receiving help is actually possible.”

Recognise. Speak. Act.
