In recent times, royalists have taken to social media against actress Suraksha Pant for a natural statement she made in a television interview about a member of the former royal family. Not only are there many objectionable slanders against him, but also his film boycott campaign has been going on in social media.

 Republicans made very objectionable actions on social media against actress Manisha Koirala for speaking in favor of monarchy and why did she not die of cancer? He commented that

Repetition of the political and digital violence shown by the republicans against Manisha Koirala has been repeated by the royalists against the security pant. These political vindictive atrocities committed by monarchists and republicans on women artists of different views than themselves are just fresh examples. 

There is a long list of women who are forced to become victims of humiliation, violence and persecution just for exercising their sovereign right to exercise their freedom of action, speech and behavior. 

The increasing use and accessibility of social networks has brought ease in the expression of ideas. Digital platforms are becoming a powerful medium for voicing the voices of the voiceless. It does not play a role in the empowerment, development and awareness of the society. But due to reasons such as lack of social awareness, poor state of digital divide, lack of digital literacy, weak regulation capacity of regulatory bodies, lack of guarantee of privacy and security in cyber space, the threat of virtual attack and digital violence is increasing.

Growing frustration in society, unpopularity and failure of political leadership, misrule and corruption are making social media users more aggressive, intolerant, chaotic and violent. The main stars of which are women. 

There is no minimum patience, dignity and sense of scope for those who disagree with the expressed opinion and there is an increased tendency to protest and attack in an immoral, chaotic and brutal manner through social media, email and various websites. Because of this, women are criminalized with abuse, violation of privacy, accusations and defamation at the personal level.

Social networks are turning into torture houses for women. Due to the misogynistic psychology of looking for double meaning in women's social media posts, commenting on the buttocks and breasts in the uploaded photos, and not being able to see women laughing and laughing, digital sites like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X are becoming new areas of violence for women. 

Online abuse against women is done through various types of threats along with obscene and offensive comments and messages. There are also increasing cases of women opening fake accounts on social media and misusing their names, photos and video content to defame them or use them for wrongful benefits.

AI-generated and digitally edited photos and videos created and published online to damage reputations are also a form of digital violence. There are also cases where some women are physically threatened and trapped by cybercriminals who are constantly monitoring and tracking them online. 

Increasing access to information technology and the Internet is positive from the point of view of social development. But the vicious cycle of violence against women created by the traditional trends of society and patriarchy has been made more complicated by information technology and social media.

The form of violence against women is now not limited to physical attacks but has evolved into virtual harassment, exploitation, harassment and digital sabotage. The increasing use of social media along with smartphone and internet access has increased digital violence against women. According to a recent data of

Sharecast Initiative, 85 to 90 percent of violence against women in Nepal is done through social media. 82 percent of that is through Facebook and Messenger. The share of violence against women through TikTok, X, WhatsApp, Viber, email and Instagram is also significant. 

While digital violence is increasing, digital literacy among women is only 31 percent. What to pay attention to when running social networks and online platforms? How to protect your privacy? How to protect personal information and data? How to avoid cyber attacks? Where and how to report cyber crime or violence? Women and teenagers have very little information about this. Because of this, women who become busy on social networks are found to be victims of digital violence.
