Technology Facilitated Gender Based Violence (TFGBV) is a growing issue in Uganda as the usage of information and communications technologies (ICTs) widens. These manifest in various forms such as cyber harassment, stalking, hateful messages, discriminatory comments, blackmailing and revenge pornography. TFGBV could have profound social, psychological, and economic consequences. That said, this digital transition could be used as a tool to provide a variety of services electronically. Policy research methods allowed for the study to explore the intricate nature of TFGBV in Uganda, investigate the effectiveness of Uganda’s existing legal and policy framework on TFGBV, examine the impact on victims, and propose comprehensive strategies for its effective regulation. The informants were purposively determined to provide technical aspects as well as a holistic lens, these include TFGBV survivors, legal practitioners, academics, legislators, CSOs, and implementers of the relevant laws as the Criminal Investigation Directorate and the gender desk of Uganda Police Force and the judiciary. The results highlight the necessity for a multifaced approach involving collaboration among various stakeholders, including the Civil Society Organisations, Government, and policymakers such as Members of Parliament, Police Officers, Parents, and individuals, to effectively combat TFGBV. Various factors that facilitate the TFGBV were identified, and everyone will have a role to play in this pressing issue.
