SHIELD Project Launches Call for Participants to Combat Online Gender-Based Violence
The SHIELD project — a European initiative focused on using artificial intelligence to reduce gender-based violence — is now entering a crucial phase: data collection. As part of this phase, SHIELD is launching a Call for Participants to engage a diverse group of individuals who can share their perspectives and help shape AI tools and training platforms aimed at preventing online gender-based violence.
Your voice can make a difference in shaping innovative tools to prevent online gender-based violence.
Your Voice Can Make a Difference
Are you an activist, youth worker, educator, parent, gender-based violence (GBV) expert, or a young person with lived experience or strong opinions on the issue? SHIELD wants to hear from you.
This initiative recognizes that real, impactful solutions start with listening to the voices of those affected and involved. Your insights will help guide the design and development of innovative tools to make digital spaces safer and more inclusive.
How You Can Contribute
Participants will be invited to take part in:
These sessions are designed to collect diverse perspectives that will directly inform the creation of AI-powered interventions and educational materials.
Why Participate?
Local Adaptation Across Europe
This recruitment effort will be adapted in each partner country to reflect local needs, roles, and priorities. Whether through schools, youth organisations, or social services, SHIELD partners will tailor the approach to ensure relevant and meaningful data collection in every context.
