Abstract
Refuge’s recent report focuses upon technology-facilitated perpetration of Honour Based Abuse (HBA). However, many of its policy responses still exclusively concern the female victims. The report discusses the use of digital surveillance, online shaming, and economic and tech-enabled coercion to perpetrate HBA upon women. We argue that while most studies regarding digitalisation and HBA primarily focus on women, it is important to resolve an evidentiary blind spot created regarding male victims by the veil of secrecy and masculine taboo.
