Recommendations following are our recommendations based on the research conducted in the T hePhilippines: Government / State must: • Strictly implement national laws related to ICTs and VAW and review existing laws and how relevant they are to this day, e.g., the Anticybercrime law, specifically the vague provision on cybersex. • Increase and strengthen collaboration with NGOs and various stakeholders to provide support to women victim-survivors of technology-related VAW. • Develop mechanisms for referral to services, including legal support, and provide for women’s economic needs, including skills trainings, decent jobs and livelihood opportunities. • Address structural inequalities and root causes of VAW. Develop concrete programs to prevent sexual violence in cyberspace by harnessing ICT’s potential to promote women’s empowerment and human rights. • Pour resources into the training of personnel assigned to investigate cybercrimes. At present, the women and children’s protection desks which handle complaints do not have the capacity to investigate cases involving technology. The Anti-Cybercrime Groups have inadequate resources, limited personnel and are deployed only in a few regions in the country. They need to also keep up with the fast pace of technological change. • Employ gender-sensitive practices in the handling of cases. Internet intermediaries must: • Demonstrate responsibility and accountability and be pro-active in providing services and responding to customers, especially those calling a hotline to complain. Put together a select staff who are knowledgeable and aware of issues and who can train customer service personnel to respond to complaints about online harassment and similar incidents. <End Violence: Women’s Rights and Safety Online> 21
