The Centre for Protecting Women Online is funded by a £7.7 million grant from Research England. It will be a vehicle for understanding and addressing challenges posed to women’s safety online through a novel, interdisciplinary and ambitious research agenda.
This will be combined with cross-sectoral, collaborative outputs and interventions which inform law, policy, technology development and practice to reduce online harms suffered by women and girls; minimise anti-social behaviours online whilst promoting pro-social behaviours and help build tech/software that helps ensure accountability, credibility and helps facilitate justice.
The Centre is led by Prof Olga Jurasz, Professor of Law and work of the Centre will be delivered through a management and five interwoven Work Streams: Law and Policy, Human Behaviour, The Future of Responsible Tech, Ethical and Responsible Tech/AI and Policing.
