Abstract
The latter half of the 20th century witnessed rapid growth in the domain of science and technology especially information and communication technology (ICT). The impact of ICT can easily be seen in the different domains of humans like science, education, professional career, culture, and politics, explicitly and implicitly or negatively. There are different types of digital violence exercised against women. Some of the forms range from hacking, controlling, or manipulating information, doxing, dissemination of intimate photos or private information, use of spyware, surveillance, faking identity, cyberbullying like posting or sharing embarrassing or threatening pictures, defamation, harassment, stalking in the form of sending online unsolicited or unwanted sex-based materials, and rape threats. The chapter attempts to explore role of the digital technology and online platforms as intermediaries in rendering gender-based violence, digitalization of gender-based violence, verbal or nonverbal sexual assaults, and online sexual politics to prolong women's subjection in India.
