    Concern over abuse through technology
    Wednesday, 23 June 2010 07:59

    Women's Aid has said there is an increase in the number of women being abused through technology.

    The group, which provides support to victims of domestic violence, says more women than ever are being abused, controlled and stalked using technology.

    There were almost 15,000 abuse incidents recorded in 2009 according to the agency, with 335 rapes within relationships being reported to Women's Aid.

    Monitoring of text messages, recording of phone calls, secret video cameras recording intimate encounters and demanded access to private email and social network accounts are just some ways in which women have had their rights violated by their partners.

    But the same technology being used to control and abuse women is also being used by them to seek help with 89% of calls to Women's Aid being made via mobile telephone and almost 40,000 hits to its website last year.

    The abuse of pregnant women remains high and the group has said it is deeply concerned about the abuse of women during pregnancy and in the post-natal period.

    Last year there was a 16% increase in first time callers to the service. Women's Aid is urging women being abused to break the cycle and seek help.

    I'd say its some sort of tinfoil hat. I also think its a bit early for acid.

    Guys stalking girls through technology or demanding access to texts and mails (this being "abuse") are both good discussions.
    I'm afraid this OP didn't quite cut it.
