Here’s how cyber stalking connects to domestic violence:
Control and Isolation: Cyber stalking can be used by an abusive partner to control and isolate their victim. By monitoring their online activity, the abuser can track the victim’s interactions, restrict their communication with friends and family, and exert a significant level of control over their daily life.
Threats and Intimidation: Abusers may use cyber stalking tactics to issue threats, both online and offline. The constant barrage of harassing messages and threats can create an environment of fear and submission within the relationship.
Digital Manipulation: Abusive partners may manipulate or coerce their victims through the use of explicit images, videos, or private information. This digital coercion can be used to maintain dominance and silence the victim.
Revenge P**n: In some cases, abusers resort to sharing explicit images or videos of their victims without consent, a cruel act known as revenge p**n. This not only inflicts emotional harm but can also have severe legal consequences.
