UN Women policy briefing explores how AI can address online gender-based violence in Asia and the Pacific
A new UN Women policy brief examines the dual role of artificial intelligence in enabling and countering technology-facilitated gender-based violence across the region.
A 2026 policy brief published by UN Women analyses how AI is reshaping technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) in Asia and the Pacific.
The brief documents how AI-driven tools, particularly deepfake technologies, have expanded the scale and sophistication of image-based abuse, creating new risks for women and girls amid limited regulation and detection. At the same time, it outlines how AI, when ethically designed and properly governed, can support prevention and response, including risk identification and digital support for survivors.
The publication is intended to inform policy discussions on the responsible use of AI, highlighting the need to align technological innovation with protections against online harm in the region.
