Online gender-based violence: the digital dimension of violence against women – a comparative study (Brazil and Italy)
Resumo
Abstract: The object of this study is violence against women practiced in the digital environment, a current and recurrent phenomenon and a continuation of offline gender violence. In a contemporary scenario, marked by the impact of technologies on legal notions and processes, as well as on the phenomena of an increasingly digital reality, violence against women also manifests itself online, through attacks, verbal abuse on digital platforms. If, on the one hand, the web seems to offer spaces of freedom, on the other hand, online violence has new and unprecedented characteristics, in relation to which current legislation does not yet offer adequate responses. The internet opens up new spaces, within which the number of forms of domination grows, fueling vulnerabilities, inequalities and violence, and social networks, in particular, form a new habitat capable of allowing new forms of violence. In this sense, the study focuses on the new forms and articulations that violence against women assumes on the web, in order to outline possible coping strategies, from the perspective of the legislation in force in the legal systems of Brazil and Italy.
