Digital Dangers: Responding to Technology & Coercive Control

Please join us for a panel discussion featuring:
Martha Coakley, former Attorney General and Senior Partner, Zucker Law Group (Boston)
Ed Donnelly, Attorney and Director of External Affairs at AT&T
Hema Sarang-Sieminski, Executive Director of Jane Doe, Inc.
Jacqueline Savage-Borne, Program Manager at the Violence Intervention and Prevention Programs at Brigham & Women’s Hospital
This panel will explore the troubling intersection of technology and coercive control. From tracking devices and social media surveillance, technology has become a mechanism for coercion and abuse, posing significant challenges for survivors. The discussion will explore evolving legal remedies, how companies and survivors can address technology-faciliated abuse, and challenges faced by survivors. The panel will also examine creative community-based responses to technology-facilitated coercive control.
Co-Sponsored by Jane Doe, Inc., the BU Law Women’s Law Association, and the BU Law Immigrants’ Rights and Human Trafficking Program.
