INEGI: Digital violence as an extension of gender-based violence

Mexico's INEGI provides data to measure digital violence as an extension of gender-based violence, highlighting the role of technology in perpetuating abuse against women.


The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) pointed out that this data makes it possible to measure the scope of digital violence as an extension of gender-based violence. Digital violence is a form of gender-based violence that occurs through the use of digital technologies. It can include harassment, stalking, the dissemination of confidential information without consent, and other forms of psychological pressure. INEGI's data highlights that digital platforms have become a new tool for perpetuating traditional forms of violence against women, which requires special attention and the development of effective measures to protect victims.
