Safe Digital Voices is a website developed to support the research sponsored by the Feminist Internet Research Network initiative led by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and supported by the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. The research combined both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to provide a holistic understanding of South African university student’s understanding of Technology Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV), their experiences of TFGBV on social media as well as online dating apps, the types of TFGBV they are exposed to as well as the emotional effects of TFGBV occurrences. Drawing on survey responses and focus group discussions, the study offers valuable insights into how South African youth navigate digital relationships and the vulnerabilities that emerge in online environments.

The research findings were used to develop a curriculum designed to address gaps in South African university youth’s understanding of the terms and events associated with TFGBV. Selected participants from the qualitative research received training on key aspects of TFGBV. Part of the requirements for the successful completion of the training was the execution of campus-based projects that informed both students and faculty about TFGBV. Overall, the training provided knowledge and skills to help further educate and raise awareness of TFGBV on the participants’ campuses. These participants became ambassadors against TFGBV practices within their campuses.
