According to a recent study, more women are known to use the Internet to enrich their relationships compared to men. Young women, those 18-24, experience certain severe types of harassment at disproportionately high levels: 26% of these young women have been stalked online, and 25% were the target of online sexual harassment. The growing reach of the Internet and the rapid spread of information through mobile devices has presented new opportunities that could put some women at risk, so it’s important to be mindful of the dangers.

Women, in general, are more vulnerable, be it the cyber space or their personal space. With the advent of technology and the option of hiding behind the screens to maintain anonymity, it has resulted in an increase in cyber bullying cases like body shaming.
