Information and communications technologies (ICTs) like the internet and mobile phones are a double-edged sword - they can be used by abusers to deepen their control and by survivors of violence to connect to help and by women's rights defenders to inform, denounce and strategise to end violence. This briefing relies on new research into how new technologies are being used by abusers and by women fighting back. The cases were uncovered in research commissioned by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) in 12 developing countries in 2009, unless an additional website reference is included.
