For a number of years, I have worked on a variety of projects related to tech-facilitated gender based violence (also referred to as online gender based violence), an issue that desproportionately affects Black women.
publications and research:
Between 2018 and 2019, I volunteered at Glitch, a nonprofit based in the UK working to end online abuse. During this time, I helped develop this toolkit (which was later revamped and published in Portuguese too!).
In 2023, I mapped 10 inspiring initiatives fighting online political violence against women in Latin America.
Most recently, between 2024 and 2025, I led a research project with the Feminist Internet Research Network focusing on the experiences of Black Brazilian women with tech-facilitated gender based violence.
