About this episode
Lilian Olivia Orero discusses her journey in addressing technology-facilitated gender-based violence and her work with SafeOnline Women Kenya.
In this episode, 2025 Kroc School Women Peacemakers Fellow Lilian Olivia Orero, a Gender and Technology Lawyer from Kenya, shares the experience that inspired her to found SafeOnline Women Kenya (SOW-Kenya). She discusses the growing crisis of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), including online harassment and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, and how these forms of abuse disproportionately impact women and girls in digital spaces. She explains how SOW-Kenya works to bridge the digital gender gap through digital safety training, policy advocacy, and the development of the AI-powered #SafeHer app, an innovative tool that enables survivors to report abuse and access support. Orero’s passion for both advocacy and technology shines bright and her dedication to uplifting women shines brighter. https://sow-kenya.org/ https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lilian-olivia-531400128 Follow Us: https:http://www.instagram.com/krocschool/ Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/school/krocschool/posts/? feedView=all Reach Out: krocpod@gmail.com
