The digital age presents an unprecedented opportunity to enhance the human security of women and girls globally and in Egypt. Digitalization has provided economic security (through enhanced access to livelihood opportunities, banking, and financial support), education (through enhanced learning for all) and health security (through tech-facilitated reproductive healthcare). However, the digital age also carries negative implications to the human security of women and girls, primarily through technology-facilitated violence against women and girls (TFVAWG). TFVAWG is an impediment to women and girls’ freedom from fear, freedom from want, and freedom from indignity. While nascent research is putting numbers on the phenomenon at the regional level, more research is necessary to understand the scale of TFVAWG and its manifestations in Egypt.
