This April, as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Health Promotion and Well-Being has invited EndTAB founder Adam Dodge to a series of workshops for students focused on emerging topics around digital safety and privacy and addressing technology-facilitated abuse.
Gender-based violence has gone digital. Today, we are spending more time online and on our devices than ever before, which has created new safety risks for students, victims of gender-based violence, and others. It has become increasingly important to develop skills that prioritize digital safety. EndTAB’s interactive and engaging courses make it possible to quickly empower attendees to help students navigate the digital gender-based violence landscape and stay safe.
As the founder of EndTAB (End Technology-Enabled Abuse) and The Tech-Savvy Parent, Adam’s work is characterized by his dedication to addressing the existing and future threats posed by technology to youth and victims of gender-based violence. He has written and presented extensively on cyberstalking, technology-enabled abuse, non-consensual pornography, and co-authored the first victim safety guide on the emerging threat of ‘deepfake’ pornography. At EndTAB, Adam spends a great deal of his time delivering innovative technology-enabled abuse trainings and presentations to organizations, nonprofits and governments around the world. A frequent speaker and lecturer at universities and national conferences, Adam has advised the White House Task Force to Address Online Abuse and Harassment, is a special advisor to the Coalition Against Stalkerware and sits on the World Economic Forum‘s Digital Justice Advisory Committee. He has worked with technology companies like Bumble, Headspace and Ring to improve the safety and well-being of victims of gender-based violence. Adam is a licensed attorney in California, and earned his B.A. from UC Santa Barbara and his J.D. by way of McGeorge School of Law and Hastings College of the Law.
