- Description
In a world where digital environments and societies have expanded globally, phenomena linked to this expansion have emerged, including digital violence. Although men are also exposed to digital violence, various studies and research have proven that women are targeted to a greater and more comprehensive extent. Women suffer significantly more from harassment in various forms, including threats, extortion, and defamation, simply because they are women, across different countries around the world, including Iraq. This is in addition to the spread of hate speech against women, particularly female activists in the public sphere and human rights/women's rights defenders specifically, a phenomenon sometimes attributed to societal culture and social customs.
