In the age of technological advancement, how can we make the best use of ICTs to counter and eliminate the menace of GBV (Gender-based Violence) from the communities living in the remote peripheries and underprivileged regions?
Social Media (SM) has tremendously incorporated, if not consumed, traditional media with significant effect and brought about new procedures, which have allowed people to communicate more freely.
The conventional one-way communication has given way to a multi-faceted array of communication channels to disseminate GBV (Gender-based Violence), which has helped people to “sell” their ideas to capture citizen’s attention.
Surprisingly, the marginalized in society now use SM to create influential groups to articulate their grievances on like GBV (Gender-based Violence). People that have been regarded as “no part” (marginalized group) suddenly appear as democratic advocacy in public without authorization.

There can be little doubt that information and communication technology is a powerful tool; but, it can also be a double-edged sword in the case of gender-based violence if its use somehow triggers a multiplication of the ways in which victims experience that. Campaigns to popularize information and communication technology must also improve data collection, raise awareness, promote training of advocates, and push for gender-sensitive legislation. In 2011, USAID collaborated with the Aurat Foundation on a scoping study of gender-based violence in Pakistan: the report's general and specific recommendations are at http://af.org.pk/gep/images/deskStudies/GENDER%20BASED%20VIOLENCE%20-%20R%20PARVEEN%20(2).pdf.
