ReCharge: Women’s Technology Safety

The ReCharge: Women’s Technology Safety project is a collaboration between Women’s Legal Service NSW, the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria and WESNET.

The website is a resource to support women experiencing technology-facilitated domestic violence and those assisting them.

Funded by ACCAN, this 2015 project expands the work of the SmartSafe project Australia-wide through a national survey, creation of legal guides and referral information for all states and territories, and development of online training programs. A second National Survey was conducted in 2020 to inform updates to the materials.

Legislation content is provided by Women’s Legal Service NSW.
