UNFPA TFGBV Response Hub 2026: Organisations Supporting Survivors Invited to Apply
Organisations providing direct support to survivors of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) are being invited to apply for inclusion in a new global service directory connected to the TFGBV Response Hub (TRH). The initiative is being launched by UNFPA, in partnership with Chayn and the Tech Abuse Roster, to strengthen access to specialised, survivor-centred support for people experiencing technology-related forms of gender-based violence.
The initiative is particularly relevant for NGOs, community-based organisations, digital security groups, legal aid providers, women-led organisations and other specialist organisations with global, regional or multi-country reach.
What Is the TFGBV Response Hub?
The TFGBV Response Hub is designed to connect frontline responders with technology safety experts so that survivors can receive appropriate, specialised and context-specific assistance.
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence can include a wide range of harmful activities involving digital technologies, platforms and communication tools. Survivors may require support with digital security, online abuse, image-based abuse, compromised accounts, legal issues, psychosocial wellbeing and case management.
By developing a curated service directory, the Response Hub aims to make it easier for frontline responders to identify organisations capable of providing appropriate survivor support.
Who Can Apply?
The service directory application is aimed at global or regional organisations that provide direct support to survivors of TFGBV.
Eligible organisations may include:
- Non-governmental organisations and international NGOs
- Community-based organisations
- Tech and digital security collectives
- Legal aid organisations and advocacy clinics
- Academic or research institutions involved in direct survivor support
- Women-led organisations
- Other specialist survivor-support organisations
Organisations should clearly explain their geographic reach, whether global, regional or multi-country, and identify the countries or regions where direct support is available.
Special Focus on Marginalised Survivors
The initiative is particularly interested in organisations supporting survivors who experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination.
This includes organisations with specialist services for:
- Adolescents
- People with disabilities
- Refugees and displaced people
- LGBTQIA+ survivors
- Other marginalised or underserved communities
Organisations with expertise in intersectional survivor support can therefore demonstrate how their services respond to the specific barriers and risks faced by different groups.
Types of TFGBV Services
Applicants are asked to describe the types of direct services their organisation provides.
Potential services include digital security and cybersecurity assistance, such as helping survivors secure compromised accounts. Organisations may also provide content takedown assistance for image-based abuse and non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII).
Other relevant services include:
- Psychosocial and mental health support
- Legal advice
- Litigation support
- Case management
- Social work
- Other specialised survivor services
Organisations should only select services that they genuinely have the capacity and expertise to provide.
How Can Survivors Contact Organisations?
The application also asks organisations to identify their available contact modalities.
These may include helplines and hotlines, email, encrypted messaging platforms such as Signal or WhatsApp, secure video calls and in-person services. Organisations may also indicate whether they use AI chatbots or other methods of providing survivor support.
This information can help the Response Hub identify the most appropriate referral pathway for individual survivors.
Survivor-Centred Approach
A key part of the vetting process is demonstrating a survivor-centred approach.
Applicants are expected to explain how their organisation protects survivor agency and delivers services in a way that minimises additional harm.
Important principles may include do no harm, informed choice, confidentiality, survivor agency, non-discrimination and non-judgmental support.
Organisations should explain their actual practices rather than simply listing principles. For example, they can describe how survivors participate in decisions about their support and how staff avoid actions that could increase digital, social, legal or physical risks.
Data Privacy and Protection
Because TFGBV cases can involve highly sensitive information, applicants are also asked about their data privacy and security practices.
Organisations should be prepared to explain how survivor information is protected, including practices relating to:
- Encryption
- Data retention
- Data minimisation
- De-identification or anonymisation
- Internal access controls
- Secure information management
Applicants should provide accurate information about their existing procedures and safeguards.
Informed Consent
The application asks whether organisations have a formal process for obtaining informed consent before providing services or storing survivor data.
Applicants can indicate that they have a formal documented process, follow informal consent practices, are currently developing consent protocols, or have another approach that they can explain.
This is an important part of responsible survivor support because individuals should understand how their information may be collected, used and stored.
Referral Capacity
Organisations are also asked whether they currently have the capacity to accept new external referrals from the TFGBV Response Hub.
Applicants can indicate that they have capacity for new referrals, can accept referrals on a limited or case-by-case basis, are currently at capacity, or have another arrangement.
Providing accurate information will help the Response Hub make appropriate referrals and avoid directing survivors to organisations that cannot currently provide assistance.
Information Required for the Application
Organisations applying to the directory should be prepared to provide their organisation name, website or social media links, organisational type, geographic scope and service languages.
Applicants will also need to provide a vetting contact name and email address so that the Response Hub team can follow up during the verification process.
Organisations may additionally share public reports, privacy policies, codes of conduct or other documents that can support the vetting process.
Why This Opportunity Matters
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence is an increasingly important issue for organisations working in gender equality, human rights, digital safety and survivor protection.
A stronger referral network can help frontline responders identify specialised support more efficiently, while ensuring survivors are connected with services that understand their specific circumstances.
For organisations already providing TFGBV support, inclusion in a vetted service directory could also strengthen collaboration with other responders and contribute to a broader international survivor-support ecosystem.
How to Apply
Interested organisations should complete the TFGBV Response Hub Service Directory Application Form and provide accurate information about their services, geographic reach, safeguarding practices, privacy procedures and referral capacity.
Organisations should ensure that they only submit information they are authorised to share and should never provide survivor-identifying information through the application form.
There is no deadline stated in the information provided for this opportunity, so organisations should check the official application form for the latest submission instructions and availability.
