ABSTRACT

As an issue of great concern in today's society, online gender violence not only seriously violates the dignity and rights of individuals, but also has a serious negative impact on society as a whole. Through in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of online gender violence, this paper uses literature research method and case study method to explore the multifaceted reasons for its emergence, and puts forward strategies and suggestions to deal with online gender violence. Firstly, this paper introduces the background and current situation of cyber gender violence, and analyses its prevalence and increasing severity in cyberspace. Then, with the help of gender performance theory and gender discipline theory, this paper analyses the causes of cyber gender violence from three perspectives: institutional factors, social factors and cultural factors. Finally, this paper proposes various countermeasures, such as establishing laws and regulations, raising public awareness, and avoiding the concept of gender inferiority or superiority, in order to cope with the phenomenon of online gender violence, create a good Internet environment, and cultivate a more tolerant, democratic, and enlightened sense of gender awareness in society, so as to ultimately achieve gender equality.
