DeStalk

Gender-based violence and online abuse are strongly linked in Europe. A notable 70% of cyberstalked women are survivors of partner violence, with 71% of domestic abusers monitoring women’s computer activities and 54% tracking survivors' cell phones using stalking software. Cyber abuse and stalkerware represent concealed forms of gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, misogynistic bullying, cyberstalking, revenge porn, and surreptitious stalkerware installations on phones.

"The project is in line with the European Commission’s work on prevention and elimination of violence against women. The project enhanced the capacity of professionals working with the victims or perpetrators of domestic violence, as well as of the public authorities engaged in detecting and addressing cyberviolence and stalkerware. Important results were also achieved with the DeStalk awareness raising campaigns. It would be useful to maintain the developed tools, given the need of more practitioners using such results in their everyday work on prevention and elimination of violence against women." - European Commission evaluation feedback
