This study aims to analyze the nature and repercussions of digital violence faced by Palestinian women on the internet, focusing on how violence interacts with social and cultural aspects within a complex colonial context and how it affects their lives and experiences. It also seeks to deconstruct the intersections of digital violence and identify the layers that hinder their ability as Palestinian women to effectively confront this violence. In addition, it aims to identify the factors that make Palestinian women more vulnerable to digital assaults by individuals, groups, or organized entities amidst multiple political authorities and the fragmentation of the actual Palestinian presence.

This study comes as a response to a cognitive need to expand the understanding of the phenomenon of digital violence and its impact on women, in light of the scarcity of information in this field, particularly regarding the reality of women and the various systems they deal with according to the different authorities across historic Palestine, which include three different authorities: the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, the Israeli government within historic Palestine and Jerusalem, and the Gaza government in the Strip.
