Abstract

Digital technology has opened up new opportunities, particularly for women, but it has also created significant challenges. In Bangladesh, women face risks such as harassment, exploitation, and cyber violence in the digital world through social media and other digital platforms. This article explores the challenges women encounter in both urban and rural settings, focusing on the sensitive vulnerability to Technology-Facilitated Violence Against Women (TF-VAW). Understanding these challenges is essential for addressing the barriers women face in navigating the digital world safely. This article also proposes context-specific solutions to enhance the digital safety of women in Bangladesh by reviewing existing strategies and identifying obstacles. Suggestions include building digital literacy, establishing support networks, and implementing secure online reporting mechanisms.
