Paragraph- Paragraph text
- While the use of information and communications technology has contributed to the empowerment of women and girls, its use has also generated online violence. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, there is a need to examine this recent phenomenon, and the applicability of national laws to it, and to make recommendations for States and non-State actors to fight online violence against women and girls while respecting freedom of expression and the prohibition of incitement to violence and hatred, in accordance with article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
