ABSTRACT: This is an abstract to examine the literature reviews on the ability of ICT (Information Communication Technology)-based interventions to prevention and responsiveness of GBV (Gender Based Violence) amongst women and children. In recent years, the proliferation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers novel avenues for addressing GBV and promoting gender equality. The primary objective of the study was to tackle the question of the indication of the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) in preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV) against women and children. The findings of the study stated that the contribution of ICT in the prevention of GBV amongst women and girls as well as boys is an obligation to increase the response rate. Research gaps are wider due to oppression that arises from factors of political, cultural, economic, and social that oppress women and girls to assess ICT in order to air their voices in the prevention of GBV.
