This research is an attempt to understand the situation of women within the digital space in Morocco amidst these major technological changes and the challenges they bring, in light of the important legislation enacted by the Kingdom to counter this sweeping threat. The research therefore aims to identify the nature of digital violence facing women in Morocco, its impact on them, and their level of awareness regarding the laws that could provide them with protection, and subsequently to propose solutions that may curb its escalation.

The research adopted a mixed methodology that combined a questionnaire—with 108 female participants of all ages, educational and social backgrounds, belonging to both urban (74 women) and rural (30) areas—along with 14 interviews. These interviews included, on the one hand, female and male actors and activists in professional and intellectual fields whose work relates to the issue of digital violence against women, and on the other hand, female survivors of digital violence who agreed to share their experiences with us, in order to provide us with an inside perspective on the experience of violence practiced against women in the virtual world from both urban and rural areas.
