Technology: Friend or Foe for Women of Myanmar understand how the junta uses social media monitoring and digital evidence to arrest and prosecute individuals, and any potentially gendered aspects of these practices. Finally, the study reflected on the dangerous setbacks for women’s rights since the coup attempt. The junta’s restrictions on internet access exacerbate GBV risks for women and disrupt their access to accurate and trustworthy information and lifesaving services. On one hand, women’s rights organizations depend on (banned) social media platforms for solidarity, networking, and mobilization. On the other hand, survivors of online GBV are struggling to get recourse from the same platforms (or any legal bodies) and the responsibility for reporting online GBV incidents falls on their shoulders. These findings emphasize the need for international actors to pressure the military to immediately end internet and telecommunications shutdowns and to hold platforms accountable to minimize digital harms. The study highlights the pressing need to have more tailored resources available for women and under-represented groups on digital security and online safety. Further research on both online and offline GBV in Myanmar would allow for the better safeguarding of women’s personal data, privacy and ultimately, their personal safety. 58
