From 22 to 26 July 2024, representatives of the Mass Media Foundation took part in a regional workshop in Bishkek focused on technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). The event, organised by the regional office of Search for Common Ground, brought together implementing partners of the "SHE LEADS!" project from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan.

Future digital stewards from Uzbekistan—moderators and administrators of online communities specialising in TFGBV issues—also participated in the training.

The workshop programme included discussions on digital peacebuilding, analysis of TFGBV issues, and practical sessions on managing online communities. Participants expanded their knowledge in creating safe digital spaces, combating mis/dis/mal-information, and developing digital leadership skills.

The "SHE LEADS!" project aims to advance women-led and multisectoral efforts to elevate awareness-raising and response campaigns to reduce TFGBV, improve the safe and inclusive use of digital technologies, and foster the meaningful online engagement and participation of diverse women and girls in South and Central Asia.
