Challenging the digital divide

rights and gender perspectives in the internet age

Abstract

The Internet has revolutionized the way people transmit and disseminate information, creating an environment where the lines between public and private are blurred. This transformation has had a direct impact on human rights, especially with respect to the right to the Internet, which sometimes conflicts with other rights due to the technical difficulties in regulating online content. Issues such as digital violence and human trafficking have highlighted the importance of addressing these problems from a human rights and comparative law perspective. It is crucial that all Internet participants assume regulatory and supervisory commitments to protect violated rights, with special attention to the gender perspective. In short, the need to balance Internet freedom with the protection of human rights is fundamental to ensuring a safe and fair online environment.
