Abstract

In our (iper)complex society, social relations have been transformed by the new technologies use. In fact, in the pandemic time caused by Covid-19 (especially in the severe moments), individuals had to interrupt their traditional live, included the social relations, and to carry online all the social interactions. The boundary between real and virtual has fallen. Consequently, it has now become a current habit to seek social relations in the virtual world. However, within this framework, these bonds have very often turned into experiences of general violence and especially violence against women. The aim of the article is to examine this social phenomenon in its multidimensionality, investigating it also through the ecosystem model, as well as reporting the most recent data in the international and national context, stressing the impact that social media, social networks and Internet communications have on violent and offensive behavior against women, especially younger women.
