Recommendations

This chapter presents a comprehensive set of recommendations to address cyberviolence against women, treating it as a human rights violation and a form of gender-based discrimination. It emphasizes that women’s rights recognized offline must be equally protected in the digital sphere. The chapter underlines the urgent need for a global legislative framework to tackle the transnational nature of cyberviolence, highlighting the inadequacy of current fragmented and outdated legal responses. Drawing on existing international and regional instruments, as well as reports by NGOs and human rights institutions, the recommendations are structured around the ‘3Ps’: prevention, protection, and prosecution. They also stress the importance of coordination, cooperation, systematic data collection, and research. The role (or rather responsibilities and obligations) of digital platforms and intermediaries is critically assessed, with calls for their accountability in combating harmful content. The chapter argues that only through systemic reforms, international cooperation, and robust legal frameworks can victims be effectively protected, perpetrators held accountable, and digital environments made safe and inclusive.
