This research by the office of the eSafety Commissioner explores experiences of technology-facilitated abuse among women living with intellectual or cognitive disability.
The findings in the report are based on interviews with women with intellectual or cognitive disability and frontline workers who provide support services.
This research was commissioned to address major gaps in the evidence about technology-facilitated abuse against women with intellectual or cognitive disability.
The report reveals that the tactics used for technology-facilitated abuse of women with intellectual or cognitive disability are like those faced by all women, but there are some unique differences.
