39% of female Internet users in Poland have personally experienced cyberbullying. 64% have seen it affect other women. These are data from a study conducted in 2024 by IQS on the initiative of the European Fem Institute, published in the report Cyberbullying against women in Poland. Violence against women did not begin on the Internet. But with the development of technology, it has gained new tools, scale, and pace. Although anyone can experience online violence, women are particularly vulnerable to it. Cyberbullying against women is not just an individual harm. It is a problem of human rights, the quality of public debate, and democracy.
The Round Table at the Museum of Modern Art is a social and intellectual intervention in the space of the system: law, technology, and culture. Experts and activists will meet to ask: who is responsible for violence against women online—and how can this responsibility be realistically enforced? The conversation will focus on the role of the state, public institutions, the media, and technology companies in reclaiming digital space for women.
MSN is a space for reflection on language, power, identity, and technology. In this context, the conversation about cyber violence against women becomes a conversation about 21st-century culture—about how law, language, and technology affect women's freedom and safety. In a world where violence against women is increasingly migrating online, we need new languages of solidarity, new forms of protection, and new alliances. The Round Table will be a meeting place for lawyers, researchers, journalists, and activists who will work together to define the directions for change.
During the round table, we will discuss, among other things:
- cyberviolence against women as a form of gender-based violence,
- the gap between the law and the actual protection of women,
- the responsibility of public institutions, digital platforms, and the media,
- the potential of the EU directive on combating violence against women
