This project aims to protect women and girls from digital abuse and privacy violations while enhancing the capacity of service providers to effectively manage digital harassment cases. It also seeks to raise awareness about the consequences of digital violence, emphasize the importance of online privacy, and advocate for stronger legislation and policies to safeguard women and girls from online abuse. Currently, Albania lacks adequate legislation and effective technological tools to protect online data.
