- Description
The war in Yemen has contributed to exacerbating violence against women in Yemen, particularly that directed at female leaders, and has spilled directly into the digital world, driving many activists to refrain from participating effectively online. Furthermore, the absence of legal frameworks and state institutions has contributed to an increase in electronic extortion aimed at obtaining money, particularly targeting women. This is a field study that included a purposive sample of 41 women from five Yemeni governorates who were subjected to various forms of digital violence. The questionnaire results were also reflected upon alongside conclusions drawn from desk research, the researcher's expertise, and in-depth personal interviews with two cases studied in greater detail within this research.
