The OSHSG research team is multidisciplinary with a diverse range of skills, expertise, and experience working with sexual violence survivors and marginalized individuals in society.
We are committed to advancing understanding of technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) and promoting safer digital and campus environments in Singapore by bridging research, policy, and practice to address online sexual harms.
We are also the research team behind CASMIDA (Campus Sexual Misconduct in the Digital Age), an independent research project that seeks to understand the ways in which digital technologies, such as social media, online platforms, and mobile applications, shape and are shaped by “sexual misconduct” in campus settings in Singapore.
