In a 2022 survey across English-speaking countries, tech-facilitated abuse (TFA) was found to occur in most cases of intimate partner violence. TFA includes using digital tools to control, harass, monitor, or harm someone. An Australian study from October 2024 highlighted a significant gap in understanding TFA among frontline workers, leading to dismissed reports and failure to identify such incidents as intimate partner violence. The study also noted a shortage of funding for specialists skilled in conducting safety scans on devices. A 2022 study by Michaela Rogers from the University of Sheffield identified that TFA survivors often suffer from paranoia, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, and self-harm. Some US states have passed laws against using smart car technology or location trackers like Apple AirTags for stalking. Tech companies such as Apple and Meta have hired victim service experts to develop product safeguards. Despite these efforts, the evolving nature of technology makes permanent solutions challenging.

I clerk a new patient, I was able to get a history of intimate partner violence.
Consultant was happy I got that history because it was significant in her overall diagnosis and care. It’s also hard to get such history in a society like this.

Jun 16 Abortion restrictions after the overturning of Roe v. Wade have increased intimate partner violence against reproductive-aged women.
“These estimates imply at least 9,000 additional incidents of IPV among women in the treated `trigger ban’ states, which would be predicted to
