With the advent of the digital age and online networks, a new facet of human experience materialised called the cyberspace. In other words, it is an addition to an individual’s intrapsychic world. Millions of people are using the Internet as a day-to-day activity to enhance their lives while at the same time there are people who are using it for anti-social purposes such as stalking, harassing, bullying and so on. This, with the advent of the Internet, has become a new weapon of abuse.

This research intends to bring the two realms of virtual and physical, which are considered as binaries into a productive dialogue on violence against women. In doing so, it takes forward the narratives of cyber violence survivors into rethinking the construction of disembodied and embodied violence. I pursue this aim by exploring how women survivors of India conceptualise and respond to cyber violence. This is a qualitative exploratory study located within the theoretical framework of feminist standpoint theory in order to engage each survivor’s story from their individual standpoint. An in-depth interview was conducted for 30 women survivors in India. This study will help to critically understand cyber violence as an embodied experience.

印度对妇女的网络暴力的重要性和公开性

随着数字时代和在线网络的出现,人类体验的新面貌出现了,即网络空间。换句话说,它是个人内心世界的补充。数以百万计的人将Internet用作改善生活的日常活动,与此同时,也有人将Internet用作跟踪,骚扰,欺凌等反社会目的。随着Internet的出现,这已成为滥用的新武器。

这项研究旨在将虚拟和物理两个领域(被视为二进制文件)带入关于暴力侵害妇女行为的富有成效的对话中。通过这样做,它将网络暴力幸存者的叙述带入了重新思考无形和有形暴力的构造的过程。我通过探索印度女性幸存者如何概念化和应对网络暴力来实现这一目标。这是一项定性的探索性研究,位于女权主义立场理论的理论框架内,目的是从每个幸存者的个人观点出发吸引他们的故事。对印度的30名女性幸存者进行了深入采访。这项研究将有助于批判性地将网络暴力理解为一种具体的体验。
