The aim of the programme is to increase the benefits of technology, free from gender-based violence and discrimination, for women and girls in all their diversity. To achieve this goal, the programme works across three main pillars: response, prevention, and law and policy, as well as through cross-cutting research and convening efforts. MASS is one of the first global programmes to address the emerging issue of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV).
