Abstract

This chapter provides an account of Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) and Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) as overlapping phenomena that indicate the changing patterns of gender-based violence in cyberspaces. It posits a human-rights framework by investigating structures of global legal formations and victim-centered barriers presented at a territorial level. Moreover, it also points out the comorbidities that typically affect marginalized groups and criticises the drawbacks of the existing punitive-based interventions. Under the feminist and technofeminist approach, it attempts to suggest trauma-informed care, inclusive digital governance, and structural changes. The text concludes by emphasising that addressing these two forms of violence requires the implementation of integrated, inclusive, and gender-sensitive legal, policy, and platform reforms.
