Protecting Women from Violence in the Digital Age


Objective

This seminar explores how European and national legal frameworks address gender-based cyberviolence. It combines  lectures, discussions, and practical  workshops to develop participants’  understanding of digital abuse, the concept of consent online, and the legal profession’s responsibilities in protecting victims.

The programme encourages analysis of landmark case law, exchange of best practices, and application of legal tools to real-world scenarios involving technology-facilitated violence against women.

Key topics

  • European and national laws combatting online violence against women
  • Comparative legal approaches to consent in digital contexts
  • Recent jurisprudence on cyberviolence and secondary victimisation
  • Victim protection and support mechanisms under EU and Council of Europe frameworks

Who should attend?

Lawyers in private practice, ministry officials, judges, prosecutors and other judicial practitioners, legal staff of NGOs and IOs. 

Online participation option

The event will be streamed live online. You have the option to follow the conference on Zoom, enabling you to ask questions and take part in the discussion with participants in Vienna.
