“…Social media provides an uncensored and user-friendly medium for expressing views and opinions ( Puente, Maceiras & Romero, 2021 ). With this, social media has become a platform for self-expression as well as for conducting online campaigns ( Martínez, Pacheco & Galicia, 2021 ). There have been many campaigns on social media related to GBV like the #metoo, #Notokay, #StateOfWomen, #HeForShe and many more ( Karuna et al, 2016 ).…”

Gender-based violence (GBV) has been plaguing our society for long back. The severity of GBV has spurred research around understanding the causes and factors leading to GBV. Understanding factors and causes leading to GBV is helpful in planning and executing efficient policies to curb GBV. Past researches have claimed a country’s culture to be one of the driving reasons behind GBV. The culture of a country consists of cultural norms, societal rules, gender-based stereotypes, and social taboos which provoke GBV. These claims are supported by theoretical or small-scale survey-based research that suffers from under-representation and biases. With the advent of social media and, more importantly, location-tagged social media, huge ethnographic data are available, creating a platform for many sociological research. In this article, we also utilize huge social media data to verify the claim of confluence between GBV and the culture of a country. We first curate GBV content from different countries by collecting a large amount of data from Twitter. In order to explore the relationship between a country’s culture and GBV content, we performed correlation analyses between a country’s culture and its GBV content. The correlation results are further re-validated using graph-based methods. Through the findings of this research, we observed that countries with similar cultures also show similarity in GBV content, thus reconfirming the relationship between GBV and culture.

La violencia sociodigital es una de las modalidades de la violencia contra las mujeres que más atención ha recibido en los años recientes, debido a sus graves efectos en la integridad psicológica, sexual y física de millones de mujeres en el mundo. No obstante han sido identificadas más de una veintena de conductas asociadas a la violencia sociodigital contra las mujeres, el desarrollo de marcos normativos y políticas públicas continúa enfocando muy pocas y sin un enfoque integral que permita contar con mecanismos de prevención, atención, sanción y reparación del daño con miras a su eliminación.
