On 2 December 2025, the Tibetan Legal Association (TLA), in collaboration with the CTA’s Tibetan Women Helpline Desk and the Women Empowerment Desk, conducted an intensive awareness session titled “Unite to End Digital Violence Against All Girls and Women” at the Men-Tsee-Khang Tibetan Medical and Astro Institute. The program was organized as part of the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
The session aimed to raise awareness about the growing forms of digital and online violence, including cyber harassment, online abuse, misuse of personal data, and technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Participants were informed about legal remedies, reporting mechanisms, and preventive measures, as well as the importance of responsible and safe digital engagement.
In addition to the awareness session, TLA also participated in a dialogue circle with Tibetan NGOs, which provided a valuable platform for meaningful discussions and collective reflection. The dialogue focused on identifying areas for collaboration, sharing best practices, and discussing challenges and experiences related to advocacy, prevention, and response to gender-based violence within the community.
The session was attended by students and teachers of the Men-Tsee-Khang Institute and was conducted in an interactive and participatory manner. It concluded with an engaging discussion and a lively question-and-answer segment, during which participants actively shared concerns and sought clarification on legal and practical aspects of addressing digital violence.
TLA was honored by the strong support and cooperation of the Men-Tsee-Khang Institute and expresses sincere appreciation to all collaborating partners. TLA looks forward to continuing such collaborative awareness and capacity-building initiatives in the future to promote safety, dignity, and empowerment of women and girls, both online and offline.
