Project 8_ENG Gender-based violence 2.0

Gender-based violence 2.0

Summary:

The growing phenomenon of network violence is an urgent social problem with a serious impact on an individual and collective level. Cyberbullying is perpetrated through virtual environments that involve repeated, unwanted, and intrusive threats, harassment, or defamation through communications in virtual spaces that cause fear and threaten the safety of victims. There is currently no instrument at the international level designed to specifically measure violence against women and those who transgress gender, on the Internet.

Targets:

One of the objectives of the study is to develop and validate an instrument of this nature. Specifically, we propose the following general objectives:

Analyze the experiences that young people have had with regard to forms of gender-based violence 2.0 in different Spanish regions.
Analyze the experiences that young people have had with regard to forms of gender-based violence 2.0 in different Spanish regions.
Identify profiles of vulnerability to gender-based violence 2.0 in different Spanish regions.
Analyze the voice of young people in the face of gender-based violence 2.0 in the various manifestations produced, detecting some expressed needs related to gender-based violence 2.0 by young people in a virtual environment, and identifying the intrinsic elements of phenomenon.
Develop educational guidelines for awareness, prevention and action against gender-based violence 2.0, for young people, families, educational agents, and government organizations.

Methodology

To respond to these general objectives, we propose a descriptive-comprehensive study that combines quantitative and qualitative methods in a mixed methodological design integrated by a diagnostic study using the survey technique, the analysis of digital narratives and other artistic manifestations.

Phases of the research

The qualitative analysis aims to gather the voice of young people in terms of their perception, experiences and proposals around gender-based violence 2.0. For this, the following phases of the research are proposed:

Creation and validation of the measuring instrument.
Survey study.
Partial conclusions, and actions of sensitization and diffusion in the scientific community.
The voice of youth in the gender violence 2.0 forum.
Conclusions of the study and development of educational guidelines.
Dissemination of educational guidelines in a web space.
