Abstract
Women’s safety has always been a topic of concern for our society. Before social media, the threat to women’s safety was mostly related to physical violence. The introduction of social media to our society has added another layer of threat to women’s safety. As social media continues to expand and attract more users, the issues faced by women online become increasingly complex and frequent. This work examines existing literature on women’s safety online and its long-term implications.
