The Tech Safety Initiative: Helping Survivors of Tech Abuse

By Lodrina Cherne

There is currently no central office or website within the federal government to address tech-enabled domestic violence and stalking through nonconsensual device monitoring. As a result, survivors struggle to find resources and support in such situations. This policy brief proposes the creation of a new Department of Justice website, the Technology Safety Initiative, that can serve as a one-stop shop for addressing technology-facilitated abuse.

This brief was completed as part of a project for the 2021 Aspen Tech Policy Hub Fellowship, a program to teach technology experts how to impact policy.
