Aproximadamente 1 de cada 3 mujeres y niñas mayores de 15 años han sufrido violencia física o sexual por parte de su pareja o violencia sexual fuera de la pareja a lo largo de su vida. Tanto el riesgo de violencia como los obstáculos a la hora de acceder a la atención y al apoyo son mayores para ciertos grupos de población, entre los que se encuentran las mujeres afrodescendientes, indígenas y de otros grupos étnicos de la Región. Este informe, publicado por la OPS/OMS, tiene como objetivos investigar este tema y, en base a los hallazgos, hacer un llamado a la acción a las partes interesadas de la Región de las Américas con el fin de prevenir este tipo de violencia

Intimate Partner Infiltration (IPI)--a type of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that typically requires physical access to a victim's device, often manifests through digital surveillance, control, and monitoring. Unlike conventional cyberattacks, IPI perpetrators leverage close proximity and personal knowledge to circumvent standard protections, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This paper, published by a group of scholars from three universities across the US, propose an Automated IPI Detection system that continuously monitors for unauthorized access and suspicious behaviors on smartphones. The paper's findings suggest that AID can serve as a forensic tool within security clinics, scaling their ability to identify IPI tactics and deliver personalized, far-reaching support to survivors.
