About this contract

Ofcom has a requirement for secondary data analysis and an academic-style literature review relating to one or more of the following research areas: a) The relationship between online and offline VAWG, recognising that online violence is often the manifestation of offline violence. b) Niche websites, particularly in relation to pornography. c) Perpetrator research, particularly in relation to motivations and mitigations, including online and offline media literacy interventions. d) Technology abuse in the UK, specifically, more granular data about which technologies and functionalities are used to facilitate abuse and whether there are patterns with particular platform usage. e) How gender-based abuse is affected by individual vulnerabilities, including attitudinal and experiential characteristics, as well as demographics. This would include the need for more nuanced tools to explore intersectionality (not just frequency data). f) International perspectives on the extent to which experiences and practices in the UK echo or differ from those in other countries, to inform policy in relation to standardisation.
