Gender Violence in the Onlife Era. Pathways to prevention and promotion of best practices from early childhood

Abstract

Women, especially since the pandemic emergency, continue to be victims of a deeply macho and sexist society: not only the systematic
object of domestic violence and economic disparity, but also the main target of online hate speech. On the Web, women
are publicly mocked and ridiculed, through body-shaming; their bodies slammed on the front page for revenge, through revenge
porn; victims of online harassment and persecutory behavior through cyberstalking; blamed, through victim-blaming; sexually
offended and denigrated through slut-shaming; virtually harassed through digital rape. Educating new generations about gender
respect and countering domestic violence cannot be fully realized until all cultural patterns that in real society and the networked
world reproduce words, gestures, and actions of inequality of inequality are directly operated upon. So, full implementation
must be ensured in schools of all levels, starting with the education system 0-6 years old, of the MIM Guidelines for Education
for Respect, Gender Equality, Prevention of Gender-Based Violence and All Forms of Discrimination and the Guidelines for
the Prevention and Combating of Bullying and Cyberbullying Phenomena, according to Directive No. 83 of 2023, which invites
educational institutions to activate project initiatives for educational maturation and pays special attention to teacher training.
