The methodology for developing the Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TF GBV) Glossary involved several structured steps to ensure it is comprehensive, culturally relevant, and accessible in both English and Arabic. The process began with defining objectives, focusing on standardizing key TF GBV terms, followed by a thorough research and literature review identified critical terms, which were then translated and localized. Additionally, collaboration with civil society organizations, technical experts, local actors, and regional and international communities ensured accuracy and contextual relevance. Currently, it is open for public consultation across the MENA region to further enhance accuracy, inclusivity, and localization.
