This study examines the digital violence faced by organizations working on women’s issues in Egypt, focusing on the digital risks they encounter due to the nature of their work.

Utilizing a theoretical framework based on vulnerability and impact indicators, a novel predictive score—The SecDev Foundation’s Feminist Organizations’ Cyber Risk Barometer (FOCRB)—was developed to assess the likelihood of an organization becoming a target of digital violence and potential mitigation measures. This tool offers a new method to gauge potential risks by analyzing key aspects of an organization’s operational profile.

The study is grounded in real-world data from organizations operating in Egypt and includes detailed case studies to validate and refine the framework, providing critical insights into the digital threats these organizations face.
