Online Violence Against Women: The Limits & Possibilities of Law

Barker, Kim and Jurasz, Olga (2018). Online Violence Against Women: The Limits & Possibilities of Law. Stirling Law School & Open University Law School.

Abstract

Online forms of violence against women are frequently perceived as ‘not real’ due to the fact that abuse happens in the online sphere, including social media. This dichotomy between ‘offline’ and ‘online’ is not only incorrect when it comes to combatting online violence against women, but it also fails to take into account the fact that boundaries between ‘online’ and ‘offline’ aspects of everyday life are increasingly disappearing in the context of modern societies.
