11 NOVEMBER, 10.30 – 11.45

Law enforcement agencies are on the frontline of the fight against cybercrime. Yet law enforcement action against cybercrime does not always consider or integrate the specific experience of women. Embedding a gender-sensitive approach to cybercrime among law enforcement agencies means understanding the different ways cybercrimes target and affect women and men, and devising responses accordingly. It also involves ensuring that women are engaged across different law enforcement functions to support the proper recording and investigation of cybercrimes against women. 

Drawing on experience from law enforcement practitioners from across the world, this workshop will showcase how women are contributing to effective law enforcement action against cybercrime, and identify what is needed to further promote the role of women in this sphere. It will also explore how law enforcement agencies can improve their investigation of cybercrimes against women.  

This workshop is co-hosted by the International Association of Women Police.
