Technology-facilitated violence extends beyond physical aggression, encompassing stalking, harassment, hate speech and more, and causing a wide range of harm. University of Ottawa professors Jane Bailey and Valerie Steeves lead the eQuality Project, a research initiative to move beyond reactive criminal response toward regulatory and education interventions, focusing on young people’s experiences in network spaces, particularly regarding privacy and equality.
The eQuality Project aims to help young people articulate their experiences, to improve policies and practices, and promote a world that prioritizes rights over profits.

The Feminist Occupation of Nellie’s Hostel
Established in 1973, Nellie’s Hostel became of the first women’s shelters in Toronto, offering emergency accommodations to those in need.
In response to severe social service cutbacks in August 1976, staff and residents of Nellie’s Hostel in Toronto initiated an “emergency occupation” to secure more funding, demanding no woman be turned away for lack of space or finances.
