Violencia Ejercida en Contra de la Mujer Bajo la Utilización de las Redes Sociales

Abstract

The accelerated advance and development of cyber channels such as social networks have brought about changes in human behavior, these changes have been used in favor of their development in different areas of life; such as labor and social, but also negative changes such as the development of new forms of violence, especially that directed at women. Virtual life can be accessed by almost anyone without any marginalization or limitation of sex, race, or even age, providing data to virtual life that can be both true and false and thus facilitating the creation of fictitious profiles to navigate incognito on the internet and thus favor the possibility of attacking women, freeing themselves from any responsibility, this type of violence has generated a great legislative problem in Colombia since the legal vacuum is notorious. This monograph seeks to analyze one of the types of abuse that occurs most frequently today, which is carried out through social networks. In most cases, the abuse experienced through digital channels is subtle, invisible and too difficult to detect and recognize, even when the victim has already done it and has perceived a true violation, the means of control or even the victim himself does not pay enough attention to this type of violence since it is neither physical nor verbal, but it can have equally devastating consequences as those caused, in some cases leading to death. The abuse of women by these media and on social media platforms influences their identity, sexuality and relationship with their environment
