Digital of Cyber Boundaries: Addressing the Growing Crisis of Cyber Sexual Assault

Presenter: Lana Ramjit, Director, Clinic to End Tech Abuse, Cornell

Description: Technology can be used to facilitate harm, including harassment, stalking, and even sexual abuse. Advocates have increasingly gained awareness and understanding of technology-facilitated harms. In this session, we move beyond awareness, devoting the majority of our time to response. We will discuss relevant statutes and laws in NYC addressing cyber violence, prepare to help survivors navigate their criminal and civil legal options, and learn strategies that survivors can take immediately and without legal counsel.

We’ll be bringing together stakeholders from various sectors, including healthcare, law enforcement, social services, advocacy, and government, as we discuss gaps in our current system of response and how we can work together to truly meet the needs of survivors in NYC.
