Workshop 1: Is the EU doing enough to tackle gender-based and cyber violence?

Gender-based and cyber violence are clearly recognised by the Digital Services Act as particular risks that the largest digital companies shall recognise when assessing and mitigating threats their services can cause. These obligations will be complemented by a dedicated definition of particular crimes conducted online under #VAW Directive.

When the first results of these actions will be visible? And is it enough to prevent spreading of such a behaviour online? Legislators, representatives of persons directly affected as well as independent researchers will exchange on these questions openly during the #DSAevent.

Moderator: Eleonora Esposito, Case Handler Officer, European Commission
