Survivors
The TEAR Center provides a safe space for survivors to learn, regain control of their technology, and access support services.
How survivors can use the center:
TEAR Center (Technology Education, Advocacy & Resources) can serve as a collaborative hub where survivors, first responders, advocates, and community partners work together to identify, prevent, and respond to technology-facilitated abuse (TFA). TFA includes behaviors such as cyberstalking, digital harassment, doxing, revenge porn, and the misuse of smart devices or tracking technologies to control or monitor victims.
