Abstract

The article focuses on the challenges of addressing cyberharassment of domestic violence victims within the frameworks of the Council of Europe, particularly the Istanbul Convention and the Budapest Convention. It highlights how technology has transformed domestic violence into a digital issue, complicating safety planning and legal responses due to the lack of clear definitions and legal protections for cyberviolence. The article discusses the inadequacies of existing legal frameworks in addressing technology-facilitated abuse, emphasizing the need for specialized norms and comprehensive support systems for victims. It advocates for the explicit inclusion of cyberviolence in the Istanbul Convention to enhance legal clarity and ensure effective protection for survivors in the digital age.
