Cyberbullying of Household Women in Iraq: A Critical View for Prohibition of Violence

Abstract

The household women in Iraq are not living a standard life as compared to the women of advanced and developed countries. The cyberbullying of household women in Iraq is increased with the spread of digital media platforms for communication. The cyberbullying laws are limited in Iraq and the current setup of the government and judicial system is failed to protect women from cyberbullying. This study is conducted on the secondary data collected from different credible resources to understand the reasons and status of cyberbullying of women in Iraq. The findings of this study demonstrate that illiteracy, fewer resources, and the absence of modern criminal laws are the reason for cyberbullying against women in Iraq. The study concludes that with the help of police management and advancement in the criminal justice system, the government of Iraq can decrease the conduct of cyberbullying against women. The study has theoretical and practical implications important for the prohibition of cybercrimes and cyberbullying against women in Iraq.
