Abstract
Gender Violence is one of the most dreaded forms of violence that is inflicted on the basis of gender. Earlier it was considered to be against women but in the current day, gender violence is just not limited to only women. There have been many cases who have been abused, humiliated, and exploited irrespective of their gender. What meant to be so much user-friendly created a pathway of destruction for them in their lives. Some were blackmailed and threatened after being abused and humiliated. Therefore, technology was the only means to come out of this deadly trap and lead a normal life again. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to study the implication of technology and explore ways and means to stop the digital violence which takes place among the users who are students and are much prone to using social media.
