Feminist Digital Forensics

Welcome!

To respond to cases of technology-facilitated violence, particularly gender-based violence, multidisciplinary knowledge is necessary. A single case may require expertise in digital security, physical security, psychosocial support, legal guidance, among many others.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Based on our shared experience with other feminist helplines, we have identified that consensual digital forensics can add a layer of possibilities to security incident response. This is because it helps determine what happened, how it happened, and can even verify whether what the victim suspects actually occurred.

With the goal of improving digital care support provided by feminist helplines, we embarked on a journey to study and systematize knowledge in digital forensics.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

The result of this work can be found here, in a dynamic repository on feminist digital forensics. This repository will be updated with tutorials, procedures, and other resources created by us and by other groups, whose language and didactic approach we believe are suitable for engaging with the fields of digital care and human rights.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Enhancing our knowledge of identifying and collecting evidence for forensic analysis also improves support for cases of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) and expands our collective capacity to generate data on digital threats from an intersectional and feminist perspective.
