“…There is a broad consensus that women experience a wider variety of forms of online harassment than men and often suffer more severe consequences as a result (Lenhart et al 2016;Lumsden and Morgan 2017;Megarry 2014;Vickery and Everbach 2018;Vitak et al 2017). Studies also show that online violence directed toward women largely consists of attacks on their gender and sexuality (Henry and Powell 2014;Jane 2014;Nova et al 2019;Powell, Scott, and Henry 2020).…”

This report employs an intersectional feminist framework to identify and analyze key trends related to gender and technology. It aims to provide a holistic picture of how gender and technology are embedded in and influenced by a myriad of intersecting issues and challenges that complicate how ICT for development (ICT4D) initiatives concretely impact women’s lives. Based on synthesized research, the report provides recommendations for relevant stakeholders on how to approach the field of international development using technology as a tool for social good in ways that benefit the most marginalized members of our global community.

“…For example, participants living in Bangladesh and Turkey are comfortable with sharing their financial (e.g., bank) accounts with multiple members in their extended family (or 'functionally extended family' -see §2), which is less common in the nuclear family setting of our participants living in the USA. Female users become victims of digital harassment or have to deal with aggressive comments in their posts on social networking sites in many developing countries, including Bangladesh [6,60]. The women in Bangladesh are often uncomfortable to report or discuss sensitive issues, including the incidents of harassment in online social media, which is conditioned and limited by maledominated and conservative Bangladeshi society [56].…”

Although many technologies assume that a device or an account would be used by a single user, prior research has found that this assumption may not hold true in everyday life. Most studies conducted to date focused on sharing a device or account with the members in a household. However, there is a dearth in existing literature to understand the contexts of sharing devices and accounts, which may extend to a wide range of personal, social, and professional settings. Further, people’s sharing behavior could be impacted by their social background. To this end, our paper presents a qualitative study with 59 participants from three different countries: Bangladesh, Turkey, and USA, where we investigated the sharing of digital devices (e.g., computer, mobile phone) and online accounts, in particular, financial and identity accounts (e.g., email, social networking) in various contexts, and with different entities - not limited to the members in a household. Our study reveals users’ perceptions of risks while sharing a device or account, and their access control strategies to protect privacy and security. Based on our analysis, we shed light on the interplay between users’ sharing behavior and their demographics, social background, and cultural values. Taken together, our findings have broad implications that advance the PETS community’s situated understanding of sharing devices and accounts.
