The human right to the internet can become a form of gender violence for women and girls, a violence that is minimally reported and the few cases were classified under the crime of extortion, said the counselor of the Judiciary of the State of Mexico, Edna Edith Escalante Ramirez.

The judge pointed out that as a result of the Olympia Law and a set of reforms at the national level to criminalize digital violence, several entities made changes to their Penal Code. In the case of the state of Mexico, on September 5, 2019, articles 211 Ter, Quarter and Quinquies of the legal system were created to recognize the crime.
Escalante Ramírez indicated that the Judicial Power of the State of Mexico has 11 pending processes related to this conduct, for which he stressed the importance of victims reporting. And he made a call to avoid being generators or secondary aggressors in digital violence, not to spread, comment or share images.
She added that the new investigative techniques of the cybernetic police and the application of protocols with a gender perspective seek to generate trust in society.
He raised the need for society to know that digital violence refers to the exposure, reproduction or dissemination without consent of images, audio or video of intimate sexual content through technological media, both on social networks such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Instagram, Messenger, among others.
It found that between 40 and 50 percent of victims knew their online attackers, such as an ex-partner, family member, friend or colleague, and a third were or had been in a romantic relationship. This shows that women are not only vulnerable and at imminent risk on the physical plane, but that they are also being harassed in cyberspace.
