***Ce webinaire est offert en anglais uniquement***

Focus and Objectives
In this talk, Dr. Drouin will dive into the complexities of digital abuse, including the ways in which perpetrators are using novel, technology-facilitated methods to find, track, control, and abuse their victims. From tracking via commonly used apps to AI-engineered images, the spectrum of mechanisms for digital abuse is ever expanding. We will discuss emerging threats within the wider landscape of intimate partner and sexual violence.
