Through this program, Girl Effect aims to empower women and girls to learn, lead, and thrive in the digital world free from harassment and technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Key objectives include:
- Enable Safe Digital Access for Girls: Equip adolescent girls and young women with digital literacy skills and knowledge of their rights.
- Increase Awareness of TFGBV: Build awareness and knowledge among girls, boys, parents, educators and community members on TFGBV and ensure their active participation in mitigating risks.
- Facilitate linkages to support services: Facilitate and enable service access through collaborations and partnerships with community-based organisations, government, police, legal and support services that have already established support systems and resources for survivors of online harassment and abuse.
In doing so, Girl Effect is looking to commission a research agency to conduct the formative research to inform the impact strategy and creative approach towards the aforementioned objectives using robust qualitative research. The agency would be responsible for:

- Reviewing the programs implemented by these organizations and analyzing their approaches through a gender-transformative lens.
