DIGITAL VIOLENCE. A COMPARISON BETWEEN MEXICAN AND SPANISH REGULATION AS FAR AS THEY RECOGNISE & PUNISH CRIMES AGAINST SEXUAL PRIVACY, A GENDER PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
This research is carried out to set the importance and the weight that has the regulation of digital violence in Mexico, as well as the background that involves its emergence in the country. Likewise it aims to make an analysis of the various amendments or regulations that exist as well in Mexico as in Spain about digital violence, to protect its most in danger part of its population as victims of this crime. In this case the main focus are women, young adults and minors.
In Mexico, due to the problem experienced by a woman named Olimpia Coral Melo, because of the viral dissemination of an intimate sexual video of hers, at a time when Mexican society did not recognize gender violence and even less thought of digital violence as a form of it, this situation has since been accompanied by the feminist movement, not only to give it recognition and to make it a crime, but also to treat it with gender perspective.
