Objective
Women are facing human rights abuses in Europe. With the rise of
new technologies and the influence of social media, cyberviolence is a
growing threat which disproportionately targets women and girls.
This seminar explores the different ways in which the legal
systems in Europe, including the Council of Europe and the EU, protect
women from those threats. To this end, the seminar reviews the current
legislative framework as well as the latest judicial decisions. In
addition, the seminar discusses the protection of women against new
forms of violence, such as cyberviolence.
