This article argues that addressing digital violence requires challenging structural patriarchy, institutional power, and the limits of carceral responses, rather than introducing new laws or awareness campaigns alone. It calls for feminist, community-led approaches, stronger platform accountability, and a shift away from policies that prioritise criminalisation over meaningful systemic change.
