This study by 7amleh – The Arab Center for the Development of Social Media – and The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation, explores Palestinian women’s experience of gender-based violence on the Internet, particularly in social media. It is the first of its kind that shows the magnitude of the phenomenon and its extent. The report shows online gender-based violence differs little from violence in public spaces. In both cases, women are denied full freedom and are watched over by family members. This affects their freedom of expression and the way they act online.
