What happens when we\nstop seeing violence? But more importantly, what happens when we\nstart to make it visible? That picture, that unwanted message from\nundesirable people, those controlling comments and the newest \u201clove\ntest\u201d of sharing your passwords with your partner, are only forms\nof violence exercised through technology. Nowadays, we can perceive\nthat the increase in digital and online violence directed towards\nwomen is evidenced in extortion, harassment and sexualization of\nthreats; where the body is seen as a currency of \u201cexchange\u201d with\nentirely abusive purposes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Data.cuenta<\/a>\nplataform seeks to make visible, count and measure the forms of\nviolence that are mediated by technology and that are made invisible\nin everyday life. The platfom is part of the digital care training\niniciatives that is mostly aimed at high school and university\nstudents, but is also completely open to the general public. It also\nprovides a conceptual glossary regarding forms of violence, a\ndirectory of organizations, gropus and initiatives that offer legal,\npsychological and emotional support, as well as a series of legal\nrecomedations within paraguayan legislation as well as international\ntreaties. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Violence online,\ndigital or from any technological mediation that is directed towards\nwomen reflects social practices that are directly related to\nmisogynist-patriarchal cultural, political and educational models\nthat account for a historicity built based on the reinforcement of\nthe role of women being silenced in public and controlled in the\nprivate sphere. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our article \u201cThe digital gender gap: addressing the challenge of a violence-free ecosystem<\/a>\u201d we mention the figures presented by The Guardian<\/a>\n that reveals that about 70 million comments wirtten by woman, people \nwith LGTBIQ identity and jews, suffered online harassment on a regular \nand consistent basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
