Ngā tohunga tūkino ā-hangarau · E whiwhi ana i te whakaaro o ngā rōpū ara tuatahi puta noa i te ao

Kaua rawa te hangarau e whakamahia hei rākau whawhai. Ka tiakina e mātou tēnei.

Ina huri ngā pūrere, ngā kaute me te āhua o tētahi tangata i runga i te ipurangi ki a rātou anō, he tino nui te pānga. Ko te whakatau i ēnei mea, e hiahiatia ana he mōhiotanga e iti ana, e motuhake ana. Ko te Digital Safeguard Centre i hangaia mō tēnei tonu, e kawe ana i ngā mātauranga kimi hara, i ngā atamai hangarau i hangaia mō tēnei kaupapa, me ngā tikanga i whakamāramatia e ngā mōrehu ki ngā tāngata e wheako ana i te tūkino ā-hangarau.

Tīmatahia i konei

E toru ngā huarahi ka āhei mātou ki te āwhina. Kōwhiria tērā e tika ana.

Ko te nuinga o ngā tāngata ka tīmata ki te aromātai ārahi koreutu. Ka āwhina i a koe ki te mārama ki ngā mea e pā ana, ā, ka tohu i a koe ki te tautoko tika. Mēnā e hiahia ana koe, tō kiritaki rānei, ki tētahi tohunga kimi hara i tō taha, ka taea e koe te tāpui tōtika i tētahi Digital Safety Audit (ka whakamahi ngā rōpū i taua hono tāpui anō). Mēnā he ratonga ara tuatahi koe, he hoa mahi rānei o te rāngai e hiahia ana ki te kawe i ngā utauta a DSC ki ō mahi i te taumata ā-whakahaere, he ara tuatoru mō taua kōrero.

Ngā mahi a te Pokapū

Whā pou. Kotahi ngākau: kia mahi te hangarau mō ngā tāngata, kaua ko tētehi atu ara.

Ko te Digital Safeguard Centre te tūāpapa motuhake o te hangarau me te rangahau mō te rāngai tūkino ā-whare me ā-whānau. Ko Joliro tō mātou papatūānuku matua. Ko te Arotake Haumaru Matihiko tō mātou ratonga arotake ārahi-tohunga, aro-trauma. Ka toro atu ō mātou rangahau, ō mātou āheinga AI me ā mātou tikanga ki ngā wāhi katoa e whakaahei ana te hangarau i te kino kāore anō kia whakatikaina.

He aha ngā kōrero a te iwi

Ehara koe i te mea anake e pēnei ana tō rongo.

Changing Australia: ending tech-facilitated abuse.

On RN Breakfast, Sally Sara spoke with Andrew Collins about technology as the new frontier of domestic violence. They discussed how the phones and everyday technology central to daily life are turned against victim survivors, why more accessible AI is making that abuse cheaper, easier and harder to detect, and the Centre's work with services in Australia and overseas to help victim survivors identify and escape it.

The law can't keep up with this invisible form of abuse.

Andrew Collins spoke to Mamamia for its coercive control series on what technology facilitated abuse actually looks like after separation. It is rarely the hacking people imagine: it runs on ordinary consumer technology (shared accounts, Find My, vehicle apps and wearables) set up while the relationship was good and never given up.

Panel paper · ACIS 2025

Technology facilitated abuse and the disciplines that look away.

A scoping review of information systems (IS) literature from 2010 to 2025 found only a handful of relevant publications on technology facilitated domestic and family abuse: a striking neglect in a discipline uniquely positioned to help. ANROWS data makes the stakes plain. One in two Australian adults report victimisation, and one in four admit perpetration. This panel paper combines perspectives from academia, law and protective security. It argues for an IS research agenda that confronts technology's dual capacity to empower and to harm, with the experiences of vulnerable people at its centre.
