headline: Deepfake Technology and Gender-Based Violence: A Scoping Review
dek: Online violence against women (OVAW) is a growing global problem with deepfakes in gender-based violence as one manifestation of this that has recently attracted considerable attention. This scoping review aims to explore emerging complexities in current academic understandings of deepfake in relation to its use in gender-based violence. The review considers how these issues impact and shape what is currently known about deepfakes in relation to OVAW. Articles were collected between July and September 2024 and t…

quick_read: This November 2025 scoping review in Trauma, Violence, & Abuse synthesized literature on deepfakes in gender-based violence. The authors screened thousands of records from mid-2024 and analyzed 64 psychology and social science articles to map how deepfakes are understood as a form of online violence against women.

The synthesis matters because it reframes deepfakes from a technical credibility problem to a mechanism of abuse that can drive women out of public online participation. What remains uncertain is how these dynamics vary across platforms, populations, and legal contexts, since the review was limited to a subset of disciplines and a 2024 search window.
limitation: Review scope was limited to psychology and social sciences literature and to a specific collection window, reducing breadth of included evidence.
tag: Evidence-backed problem
key_points: Scoping review collected 3148 articles between July and September 2024 and filtered to 397 full reviews, then to 64 for analysis. | Search used 12 search terms across six research databases following PRISMA extension for Scoping Review guidelines. | Authors argue research must move beyond credibility and detection toward intersectional power dynamics in deepfake abuse.
rundown: The authors searched six databases with 12 terms between July and September 2024, yielding 3148 hits, 397 full-text reviews, and a final analytic set of 64 articles after filtering for psychology and social sciences.

The review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review guidelines and highlights a gap in empirical attention to intersectional power dynamics versus detection techniques.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0457 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
