Gender-based violence 2.0

Methodology

Autonomous communities
Through a survey study, it is planned to apply a questionnaire online to adolescents in Compulsory Secondary Education in the regions of Catalonia, Aragon, Galicia, Valencia, Andalusia, Melilla, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.
The results obtained allow us to visualize these types of violence, raise awareness about society, design preventive programs, establish profiles of cyber aggressors, develop intervention strategies to support victims and / or reduce cyberbullying and guide mechanisms.
