On the occasion of the sixth TTC Ministerial in Leuven, Belgium, the European Union and United States delivered a status report on mechanisms for researcher access to online platform data and joint principles on combating gender-based violence in the digital environment. 

A set of workshops was convened with EU and U.S. experts on data access for researchers and technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) on 4 April 2024. Expert participants raised key goals and discussed emerging barriers and possible actions to expand access to public online platform data, and how to use this data to better understand TFGBV.
