From smart homes to connected cars, new tools of domestic abuse make escape harder
A phone, a smart home, a digitally connected car — these are the tools of digital domestic abuse that anti-violence experts say is on the rise.
“Perpetrators are using technology as another tool for their old behaviours of power and control, abuse and violence,” she said. He says the company helped a woman whose former partner would remotely take control of her smart home. Angela Macdougall, executive director of Battered Women Support Services, said “technology is baked into each and every” case the organization sees, but policy and laws have not kept up with digital advancements.
The federal government established an expert advisory group on online safety in March, which is mandated to provide advice on how to design the legislative and regulatory framework to address harmful content online.“I’m certainly hopeful that there will be some sort of agency that’s established that’s there to actually help people,” she said.
However, many advocates quickly criticized the plan for listing broad goals while lacking specific commitments to standardize and improve access to supports for victims across Canada.“There’s no sense of coordination. There’s no accountability,” she said in an interview.
