This research paper is one of TATHEER activities, a program under the
Innovation for Change in Middle East and South Africa (I4C MENA) that is
implemented by The Station foundation for Entrepreneurship with the aim of
building the capacity on social inclusion and freedom of expression in Iraq
under the MENA Hub’s pillars of digital security and advocacy with the
objective to establish a collaboration model between civil society and
technologists in areas related to human rights, digital security, advocacy, and
accountability. In this research paper, we are going to tackle and talk about
cyber-violence against women in Iraq. We will commence this research with
some technical terms and their definitions, as we’re going to briefly go
through some types of cyber-violence with global statistics regarding
cyber-violence against women. We also will look over some of the data that
has been collected using an online survey filled out by more than 500 Iraqi
women and three focus groups with more than 50 participants from all Iraqi
governorates. After going through the data collected we will try to reveal the
problem and highlight the causes, reasons, and probable outcomes and put
those data in numbers, percentages, and visual charts to come up with
findings and insights to better help us frame the phenomenon. This research
paper will address three different main aspects in regards to cyber-violence
against women in Iraq, the technical, the legal, and the social aspects which
essentially affect women in Iraq in current circumstances, then the conclusion
to be followed, to sum up what we have reached collecting and analyzing data
from those targeted segment to put forward a set of recommendations we
find crucial for limiting and preventing such phenomenon in the near future.
