Welcome to DAWN: Digital Abuse Women's Network

DAWN (Digital Abuse Women's Network) is a modern cybersecurity knowledge hub dedicated to educating, empowering, and protecting women and organizations from digital abuse, cyber threats, and technology-enabled harm.

As technology becomes more integrated into daily life and business, digital abuse, data breaches, online harassment, identity theft, and cybercrime continue to rise. DAWN exists to make cybersecurity knowledge more accessible, understandable, and actionable - especially for women, nonprofits, small businesses, and community leaders.
