Digital Safety for
IPV Survivors

Technology can be misused to monitor, control, or harass, but you don’t have to face it alone. The Tech Safe BC Project works alongside BC Society of Transition Houses’ member programs to increase the safety and confidence of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) when technology is being used to cause harm by a current or former partner, and to enhance ongoing safety planning.
