This report highlights the growing need for a more coordinated, cross-sectoral, and survivor focused response to technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TF GBV) in the Western Balkans. While certain legal progress has been made in addressing cybercrime and digital harm, TF GBV is still not clearly defined or consistently addressed in national laws or institutional practice. As a result, the current response remains fragmented, with limited accountability and inadequate protection for those affected.

The recommendations in this section draw on insights from legal analysis, desk research, stakeholder mapping, and interviews with representatives from institutions such as the law enforcement, judiciary, social services, civil society organisations, and digital safety experts. They aim to respond to the most pressing gaps identified throughout the research and to promote a more effective, coordinated, and inclusive approach to preventing and responding to technology-facilitated gender-based violence in the Western Balkans.
