“…As an example of the impact of GBV on women, the results of studies from 2000 to 2018 showed that more than one in four women (27%) between the ages of 15 and 49 had ever have had a sexual partner, experienced physical or sexual violence, or both, since the age of 15 [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Background Gender-based violence (GBV) includes any physical, sexual, psychological, economic harms, and any suffering of women in the form of limiting their freedom in personal or social life. As a global crisis, COVID-19 has exposed women to more violence, which requires serious actions. This work aims to review the most critical dimensions of the GBV against women, effective factors on it, and strategies for combating it during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to provide recommendations for future pandemics. Methods This study was conducted based on PRISMA-ScR. First, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were searched in April 2021 with no time limitation and location using the related keywords to COVID-19 and GBV. The searched keywords were COVID-19, gender-based violence, domestic violence, sexual violence, women, violence, abuse, and their synonyms in MESH and EMTREE. Duplicates were removed, titles and abstracts were screened, and then the characteristics and main results of included studies were recorded in the data collection form in terms of thematic content analysis. Results A total of 6255 records were identified, of which 3433 were duplicates. Based on inclusion criteria 2822 titles and abstracts were screened. Finally, 14 studies were eligible for inclusion in this study. Most of these studies were conducted in the United States, the Netherlands, and Iran, mostly with interventional and qualitative methods. Conclusions Strengthening ICT infrastructure, providing comprehensive government policies and planning, government economic support, social support by national and international organizations should be considered by countries worldwide. It is suggested that countries provide sufficient ICT infrastructure, comprehensive policies and planning, economic support, social support by collaboration between national and international organizations, and healthcare supporting to manage incidence of GBV against women in future pandemics.

The design of wearable devices has been approached from many perspectives over the years, mainly from a functionality, electronics, mechanics, usability, wearability, or product design perspective. However, there is a missing point in these approaches: the gender perspective. Gender intersects with every approach and, considering the interrelationships and dependencies, can achieve a better adherence, reach a wider audience, and even change the conception of the wearables design paradigm. The electronics design addressed from a gender perspective must consider both the morphological and anatomical impacts and those emanating from socialization. This paper presents an analysis of the different factors to consider when designing the electronics of a wearable device, including the functionality to implement, sensors, communications, or the location, together with their interdependencies, and proposes a user-centered methodology that contemplates a gender perspective at every stage. Finally, we present a use case that validates the proposed methodology in a real design of a wearable device for the prevention of gender-based violence cases. For the application of the methodology, 59 experts have been interviewed, 300 verbatims have been extracted and analyzed, a dataset from the data of 100 women has been created and the wearable devices have been tested for a week by 15 users. The electronics design needs to be addressed from a multidisciplinary approach, by rethinking the decisions taken for granted and analyzing the implications and interrelationships from a gender perspective. We need to enroll more diverse people at every design stage and include gender as one of the variables to study.

“…Reconocer emociones a partir del habla, como el miedo o el estrés, causadas por situaciones de VBG, ha sido objeto de estudio con el fin de desarrollar dispositivos inteligentes capaces de detectar posibles casos de esta violencia. Por ejemplo, Binni es un sistema autónomo que combina el aprendizaje automático y el Internet de las cosas (IoT) para identificar y reportar automáticamente situaciones de riesgo de VBG (Miranda et al, 2022).…”

El estudio se enmarca en el desarrollo de una solución basada en el Internet de las Cosas (IoT) y el aprendizaje automático para prevenir y detectar situaciones de peligro relacionadas con la Violencia basada en el Género (VBG). El objetivo es proporcionar una herramienta útil y accesible para las mujeres en riesgo, contribuyendo así a la prevención y reducción de la VBG. El problema que aborda el estudio es la violencia basada en el género, un tema de gran relevancia social y humanitaria. Se busca utilizar tecnologías digitales y aprendizaje automático para detectar palabras asociadas con situaciones de peligro y prevenir la VBG en tiempo real. Para abordar el problema, se utiliza una data set público creado por Microsoft que contiene muestras de audio de diferentes palabras, incluyendo palabras asociadas con situaciones de peligro como "yes" y "no", así como otras palabras y ruido estático. Se utilizan datos de audio en formato WAV, divididos en ventanas de un segundo con una frecuencia de muestreo de 16000 Hz. Se selecciona una ventana de datos homogénea con una duración de un segundo y se utiliza el coeficiente cepstral de frecuencia (MFCC) para resaltar la voz humana y reducir el ruido de fondo. El modelo desarrollado mostró un buen desempeño en general, con una eficiencia promedio del 91.3% en el conjunto de entrenamiento y del 85.83% en el conjunto de evaluación. Se obtuvo una alta precisión en la detección de palabras asociadas con situaciones de peligro, como "yes" y "no". Se reconoce que la tecnología tiene un papel significativo en abordar la VBG, pero también se enfatiza en la necesidad de un compromiso de la sociedad y los gobiernos para lograr un cambio duradero y significativo en la erradicación de este problema a nivel mundial.
