About this Event

2nd Annual ICIHB OCTOBER 10/11, 2025 in DOWN TOWN TORONTO CANADA.

Cyberviolence is an increasing problem worldwide – even more so since the Covid-19 pandemic – and is often gender-based and targeting boys, women, and girls. Cyberviolence hampers the full realization of gender equality and violates women’s rights.

Why Cyberviolence Can’t Just Be ‘Turned Off’

Cyberviolence can have more devastating psychological impacts on victims than face-to-face interactions. It can have a global reach and can take place anytime – it’s difficult to escape or to stop. People who experience cyberviolence may be re-victimized every time a hateful message or sexual image is shared or viewed without their permission. Abusive partners and stalkers are using digital surveillance technology to control and monitor their victims’ lives. Monitoring apps intended for the purposes of locating a friend, or a child can be used to monitor women and girls. These apps, known as spyware, give abusers unlimited access to their victims’ online activities and physical whereabouts without their knowledge.

We can’t ignore hate and cyberviolence.

Reducing online hate is essential to ending gender-based violence overall. Exposure to hateful attitudes that promote an inferior social, political, and economic position for women influence violence against women. It escalates the risk that consumers of such content will adopt similar attitudes and act towards them. Hatred towards women increases physical acts of violence against women, just as inciting racial hate leads to an increase in racially motivated

violence. The intersection of these factors makes it especially dangerous for indigenous women, Black women, women of color, and identifiably Muslim women
or women presumed to be Muslim.

About the Conference!

The conference will gather experts in the field to help increase understanding and gravity of the issues involved best practices and possible solutions to tackle the mounting number of online threats targeting children, mainly young girls, and boys. Nevertheless, that does not mean that young girls and boys do not experience online harassment: the possibility that victims are afraid to testify or/and report their unpleasant experiences to other interlocutors (the police, for example) can’t be excluded.
