Details

This title explores the growing phenomenon of cyberviolence against women, analyzing its causes, manifestations, and consequences from a multidisciplinary perspective.

It aims to fill the gap in existing literature by not only diagnosing the issue but also providing comprehensive legal and policy solutions. Unlike other works, this book uniquely integrates perspectives from human rights law, digital governance, gender studies, and cybersecurity, making it both an academic resource and a practical guide for policymakers and advocates. Cyberviolence against women is a pressing global issue, merging the long-recognized problem of gender-based violence with the pervasive reach of digital technology.

With insights from legal frameworks and expert recommendations, it is an essential resource for policymakers, academics, and advocates committed to tackling online gender-based violence.
