Abstract

Calling All Stakeholders: An Intersectoral Dialogue about Collaborating to End Tech-Facilitated Violence and Abuse

Highlights

As with other complex social justice issues, the emergence of technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA) has led to calls for increased intersectoral collaboration770 Jane Bailey and Raine Liliefeldt (Canada, 2017, pp. 44–54)
This has been true in the context of violent extremist/terrorist content (New Zealand, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Industry and Trade, n.d.), which is emblematic of a call for multistakeholder collaboration (MSC) in the development of internet policy more generally (OECD, 2014, p. 8)
As Raine noted, constating documents can play an important role in addressing misalignments in TFVA-related collaborative initiatives: Some challenges arise [where there are differences in organizational values and mandates] and they can be explosive and how you have to deal with it is with the tools you have and the conflict resolution methods that have been entrenched into your agreements or your MOUs [Memoranda of Understanding]

Summary

Introduction

As with other complex social justice issues, the emergence of technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA) has led to calls for increased intersectoral collaboration770 Jane Bailey and Raine Liliefeldt (Canada, 2017, pp. 44–54). We focus on our experiences with making MSC work on the ground, including considering what “success” looks like, the related issues of power imbalance, legitimacy, accountability, and trust, and how to identify and prioritize the needs of those affected.
