    How should the EU prevent and combat gender-based violence online

    In the 21st century, in the European Union, gender-based violence is manifesting everyday and everywhere.

    The new face of an old enemy: What do we know about gender-based cyber violence and how can we combat it?

    Sylwia Spurek
    Opinion by Sylwia Spurek
