Moving On: Digital Empowerment and Literacy Skills for Survivors Needs Assessment Report

Moving On: Digital Empowerment and Literacy Skills for Survivors (MODELSS) is an intervention research project designed and developed by MediaSmarts. This project aims to adapt, deliver, and evaluate digital media literacy resources for practitioners in the violence against women (VAW) sector and survivors of family violence – specifically those who have experienced or are experiencing technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA).  

In this report, we detail the methodology and results of the needs assessment we conducted in February and March 2023 to understand the current needs and concerns of survivors and VAW practitioners regarding addressing and preventing TFVA in Canada.
