DIGITAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE MODERN ERA: DISSEMINATION OF INTIMATE OR MANIPULATED CONTENT WITHOUT CONSENT

Abstract

Digital violence against women has become a pervasive issue in the modern era,
manifesting in various forms, including the non-consensual dissemination of intimate or manipulated
content. This phenomenon reflects the intersection of technological advancements with deeply
entrenched gendered power imbalances, causing profound psychological, social, and legal
repercussions for victims. This study explores the multifaceted dimensions of digital violence, focusing
on the unique challenges posed by the dissemination of intimate content without consent. By analyzing
the historical evolution of technology’s role in perpetuating violence, this paper contextualizes the
emergence of digital violence and highlights the gaps in legal frameworks and societal responses.
Emphasizing the victimological aspects, it underscores the urgent need for comprehensive prevention
strategies, legal reforms, and technological interventions. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to
a more nuanced understanding of digital violence against women, fostering actionable insights to
combat this pressing issue in an increasingly digital society.
