الملخص EN

Virtual spaces are globally considered a place of democracy and freedom of speech.

However, these virtual spaces carried the negative mentalities and practices, where discrimination and violence against women are embedded.

Virtual spaces transferred violence from social reality to another virtual one.

The latter has numerous characteristics, which make the reinforcement of violence against women an easy task.

The characteristics are: Gathering of youngsters, youth, and teenagers; the freedom of publishing contents and sharing them widely and speedily; the total freedom; breaching the privacy; spreading rumors, misinformation, and false news.

The contents that imbed the violence against women have two (02) types: the first type is the tacit or implicit content, which appears superficially to be ironic and sarcastic, yet it has symbolic violence.

The latter symbolic violence might cause moral harm to women especially, and inculcate toxic thoughts in peoples' minds generally.

The second type is the deliberate content intending to abuse, aggress, and underestimate women.

It is usually committed by discriminators.

The situation might develop to reach the level of calling to aggress women, taking religion or custom as an argument.
