With technological devices and access increasing, they can be used to harm others. Here are a few ways abusive partners use technology to do so and how one can protect themselves.

Digital violence describes multiple types of gender-based violence perpetrated on victims by the use of devices and digital media. Because social media and other forms of technology are easily accessible, they make others vulnerable to abuse.

In the same way others use different forms of technology, BBRIDGE uses technology to foster awareness, space, and encouragement in the online space!

To stay informed, stay connected!

Did you know that many domestic violence programs report that abusers use technology to stalk, harass, and control victims.

Online abuse can have devastating effects on a survivor’s mental health and safety, often escalating to in-person violence. Just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s less serious.

We must recognize these warning signs and support survivors. If you need a safe space to talk, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is there for you at 18007997233

Congratulations to our founders Ogechukwukamma Kalu and Jennifer Elliott for being selected as Remap-IPV cohort scholars and attending the REMAP - IPV in-person training last week.

They had the privilege of joining scholars from across the country for the Restoring equity to measuring and preventing perinatal intimate partner violence (Remap-IPV), supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

As founders of BBRIDGE, we are committed to elevating culturally rooted, trauma-informed, and community-led approaches to understanding and preventing perinatal intimate partner violence.
Grateful for the connections, shared vision, and continued collaboration ahead.

1. Emotional and Psychological Distress

Children exposed to IPV often experience anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, and confusion. They may internalize the conflict and blame themselves for the violence.



2. Behavioral Challenges

Exposure can lead to aggression, withdrawal, defiance, or difficulties in school and peer relationships as children try to cope with chaotic home environments.



3. Cognitive and Academic Impacts

Stress and trauma can disrupt brain development, concentration, and memory, leading to poor academic performance or developmental delays.



4. Health and Physical Effects

Children may experience sleep disturbances, headaches, stomachaches, and other somatic symptoms related to chronic stress or trauma.



5. Intergenerational Transmission of Violence

Without intervention, children who witness IPV may normalize unhealthy relationships or repeat patterns of abuse in adulthood, either as victims or perpetrators.


Children deserve safe, nurturing environments where love replaces fear.
By supporting survivors and addressing IPV, we protect future generations.

This year’s theme, “With Survivors,” emphasizes partnership, walking alongside survivors to provide safety, support, and solidarity.

It is both a message of affection and affirmation to survivors, and a call to action for advocates, allies, and communities everywhere: we must stand with survivors to create lasting change.
