This is the final report for our SSHRC gender-based violence synthesis grant. We hope this report will help inform the Canadian conversation on technology-facilitated gender-based violence by revealing what future research contributions will be of most significance and by informing those creating the policies and frontline supports that will impact the next generation.

La VFGFT est de plus en plus fréquente chez les jeunes au Canada, et il devient donc nécessaire de mieux comprendre la nature de cet enjeu, sa fréquence, son incidence et la réponse qui y est consacrée. C’est pourquoi le présent rapport se veut une synthèse des recherches universitaires visant à faire le point sur ce qu’on sait et ce qu’on ignore encore sur cet enjeu.

Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) is on the rise among Canada’s youth. It is important to understand how secondary schools educate students about TFSV and the steps they take to address TFSV. We conducted an analysis of educational curricula, policies, legislation, and related documents from Canada’s thirteen provinces and territories to understand how secondary schools respond to TFSV. We found that TFSV is inconsistently addressed, and as such, there is a need for more robust curricula, policies, and legislation.
