Global Digital Violence Against Women and Girls

INTRODUCTION: New technological advances, including generative artificial intelligence, have provided new methods of victimizing women and girls. The discussion on the impact of digital violence against women and girls throughout the United Nations 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women represented a global and unified effort to influence and shape global policy discourse for digital violence against women and girls. DISCUSSION: This perspective paper examined the digital violence against women and girls in a global context and reviewed existing international and the U.S. federal legal frameworks. Critical gaps were identified, and recommendations were presented. RECOMMENDATIONS: Digital violence against women and girls is a justice and public health crisis. Concerted legal and legislative regulations at an international, national, regional, and local level are essential to protect women and girls. Nurses and health care professionals are stakeholders in the protection of women and girls from digital violence.
