Why this is interesting: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s online presence has grown exponentially. Thus, it is at this time that the problem of digital violence has become more widespread. Children and women are the primary victims of such violence. Ukraine wasn’t left unaffected by these processes either. According to the National Children and Youth Hot Line of the La Strada-Ukraine NGO, one third of the appeals they received were related to cyberbullying. Additionally, electronic means of communication were involved in over 18% of bullying-related court cases. While the EU countries have begun developing institutional mechanisms for the protection of vulnerable groups of the population from online violence as well as ways to punish perpetrators, Ukraine’s legal framework, preventive measures and mechanisms for collection of information are not sufficiently developed.
