Is There a Way to Evaluate Existing Products for Safety?

This is a special archived episode of Brave UX.

Eva PenzeyMoog shines a light on how digital products are being used to enable domestic violence, and what we can do to protect our most vulnerable users.

Highlights include:

⭐ What is domestic violence and how does it show up?
⭐ How is technology being weaponised by domestic abusers?
⭐ Why can’t our users be solely responsible for their own safety?
⭐ How can designers use archetypes to help safely shape their products? 
⭐ How can leaders help their teams to design for safety safely?
