Digital gadgets and social media have become crucial in today’s world as they help us connect with others and stay informed about global affairs. Despite the numerous benefits of digitalisation and technology, it has several drawbacks and poses new threats and challenges for people. Cyberbullying and cyber harassment have become increasingly common nowadays as people easily acquire social media users’ data and details through their accounts and online activity, which they then use to exploit, harass, and extort money from vulnerable users.

Similarly, nearly 40% of Pakistani women experience some form of cyber harassment but only 28% of them report them.
