Assessing the Influence of Social Media on Attitudes Towards Violence Against Women: A Mixed-Methods Approach

Abstract

The study presents four pivotal inquiries to furnish extensive insights into how social media influences women's attitudes toward violence against women. The survey's design enables the gathering of quantitative information directly from participants, permitting statistical analysis to unveil patterns, trends, and associations within the data. The survey instrument encompasses both closed-ended and open-ended queries, capturing quantitative and qualitative data to yield standardized responses while allowing participants to express detailed viewpoints. The results of this investigation demonstrate that social media plays a substantial role in influencing women's attitudes regarding violence against women. Social media's interactive and visually engaging attributes facilitate the dissemination of awareness and equip women with practical strategies for addressing violence, encouraging advocacy and instigating change within their communities. The study suggests that media outlets should actively increase awareness and support effective measures to combat violence. It also emphasizes the importance of conducting long-term research to track the evolution of violence against women and comprehend its underlying causes.
