Safe Tech, Safe Futures: July 2025 Campaign for Digital Safety
This July, the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) is proud to launch Safe Tech, Safe Futures, a digital safety campaign designed to empower Native survivors and advocates across New Mexico. As technology continues to shape our daily lives, this campaign offers culturally grounded tools, tips, and resources to help our communities navigate the digital world with confidence, care, and safety.
Why This Campaign Matters
Technology should be a source of connection, not control. But today, many survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are facing new forms of harm through their phones, apps, and online spaces. From image-based abuse to location tracking and online harassment, digital spaces are mirroring the violence our communities already endure offline.
At CSVANW, we believe every relative deserves to live, heal, and connect in safe spaces, both physical and digital.
What You’ll Learn This Month
Throughout July, Safe Tech, Safe Futures will cover critical topics that support survivors, advocates, parents, youth, and community leaders alike:
- What is Digital Consent? Understanding respect and boundaries in texts, DMs, and image sharing
- What is Tech Safety? Foundational knowledge to protect your devices, data, and digital identity
- What is Tech Abuse? Identifying how technology can be used to monitor, threaten, or harm
- Online Safety Tips for Survivors and Advocates: Tools, from securing communication to adjusting privacy settings
- The Digital Declutter Challenge: A 7-day experience to clean your feeds, review your privacy settings, and reclaim peace online
Grounded in Our Values
This campaign is rooted in CSVANW’s mission to eradicate violence against Native women and children by transforming the systems and stories that allow harm to persist. Our work is built on the pillars of Support, Education, and Advocacy, and Safe Tech, Safe Futures is a natural extension of that mission in the digital age.
We know that digital violence doesn’t always look like traditional harm, but its effects can be just as real. By sharing culturally relevant, trauma-informed information, we aim to shift awareness into action, and passive scrolling into engaged protection.
