Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the dynamics and complexities of women's rights in the rapidly evolving context of the digital age. As technology expands its influence across all spheres of life, it brings both significant opportunities and unique challenges for gender equality. The first section analyzes how digitalization has influenced women's access and participation in areas such as education, the workforce, and governance. The second part focuses on the negative aspects, including the rise of online violence against women, such as cyber harassment, shaming, and unauthorized exposure of personal data. It discusses how existing norms and practices in the digital space can perpetuate gender inequalities and highlights the need for legislative and policy approaches to protect and promote women's rights in this new environment. Finally, the paper proposes intervention strategies and public policy recommendations to ensure that the digital age becomes a vector of equality and empowerment for all women.
