Facebook Safety Committee Adds Domestic Violence Watchdog

The National Network to End Domestic Violence has joined Facebook's global safety advisory board, becoming the fifth external organization to enter the group.

A domestic violence prevention group has joined Facebook’s global safety advisory board.

The National Network to End Domestic Violence is the fifth external group to join Facebook’s safety committee.

Sites like Facebook provide evidence for this crime that otherwise might be difficult to prove in court because it happens behind closed doors.

NNEDV wants to advise Facebook on how to “develop features for survivors of domestic violence,” said Cindy Southworth, vice president of development and innovation, along with the founder of the organization’s Safety Net technology project.

She explained that most of the safety oriented tools already available online have more of a younger audience and she wants to see something relevant to older victims of domestic abuse.
