The WANA Institute report (2021) on cyberbullying in Irbid, Jordan, during the COVID-19 pandemic reveals significant online violence against women. Key findings include weak legal protections, low awareness of safe social media use, and high incidence of cyberbullying, primarily on Facebook. Women face severe social, economic, and psychological impacts, with many fearing social stigma and refraining from reporting incidents. The report calls for improved legal frameworks, awareness campaigns, and institutional support to combat cyberbullying.
