TECH VS. ABUSE PROJECT

In 2016, Chayn partnered with Comic Relief, along with Safe Lives and We Are Snook, to launch a groundbreaking project Tech VS Abuse to explore and investigate the role of digital technologies in supporting victims of domestic abuse.

The project led to eye opening evidence that led to a better understanding pertaining to domestic violence and how online media could be leveraged as a tool empowering victims and people in chronic abusive relationships.

This episode was recorded and published in 2017 on soundcloud.
