Citizen Lab submission to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders: Challenges faced by women human rights defenders working in conflict, post-conflict or crisis-affected settings

Citizen Lab outlines its research on digital transnational repression (DTR), defining TR/DTR and describing how authoritarian actors use digital tools to target exiled activists, journalists, and especially women human rights defenders, resulting in harms to privacy, freedom of expression, and peaceful assembly; the submission also provides recommendations to host governments, international organizations, and social media platforms, and references the full submission and the UN Special Rapporteur’s report.
