Resource Launch: Digital Self-Defense Toolkit
The PEI Coalition for Women's Leadership will also be launching our new resource, created to support those facing cyberviolence, digital harm, and the overarching term: technology-facilitated violence (TFV). While the resource is tailored to women and gender-diverse leaders, it can be used by anyone to better understand and address TFV.
This event is kindly sponsored by the Provincial Credit Union. The development of the Digital Self-Defense Toolkit was funded by the Interministerial Women's Secretariat, from the Government of Prince Edward Island.
