This is the fifth in a series of mini editions highlighting the project “End violence: Women’s rights and safety online”. Each edition focuses on one country in which the research was conducted, and brings together major findings, and interviews with the research teams. Drawing on four documented case studies, the Columbia research documents some of the characteristics of online violence against women, including the different routes women took in search of protection and remedies for these situations.

The report concludes with a set of recommendations aimed at different actors, with the purpose of combating ICT-related violence against women.
