Violence against women in cyberspace is a reflection of the prejudices and intolerance that permeate society. This study is theoretical-reflexive in nature and is based on references related to violence against women in cyberspace. Data collection took place in September 2023 in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed, using indexed descriptors such as "violence against women" and "cyberbullying" and terms not yet indexed "stalking" and "revenge pornography". Women who are victims of digital harassment or "revenge porn" may suffer from trust issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, suicidal thoughts and increased risk of suicide and suicide, difficulty finding new partners, job loss or problems getting a new job, offline harassment and stalking. This study highlights the urgency of comprehensive action, including legal measures, public awareness and digital education, to build a safe and equitable online environment and highlights the seriousness of revenge porn and digital violence against women, highlighting the need for integrated interventions, protection of victims and promotion of an inclusive and respectful digital culture.

Cyberbullying shares with bullying the essential characteristics of intent to cause harm and power imbalance. It differs due to the aggressor's potential for anonymity and exposure to aggression due to the absence of space and time restrictions on the internet. This is a literature review, whose search was carried out in August 2023, resulting in a final sample of 15 articles. The results showed that parental abuse and neglect are related to cyberbullying. Furthermore, being associated with the practice, childhood maltreatment is positively associated with cyberbullying victimization. Parental divorce and separation, low family income, low mother's education, and father's unemployment have all been associated with cyberbullying victimization. Additionally, teens with a high level of parental "phubbing" were likely to bully others. Cybervictimization predicted suicidal ideation and low levels of life satisfaction, with psychological distress being associated with cyberbullying. These problems manifest themselves in an unavoidable way, affecting learning, social skills and interpersonal interactions, which requires a multifaceted approach to prevent and combat cyberbullying and its harmful consequences on students' mental health.

To assess the methodological quality of the applied the STROBE recommendations (Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology). Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: To better organize the results were grouped into two analytical categories; according to the recommendations STROBE 55.5% were classified as A and 44.4% B; about the level of evidence 72.2% had level 4; 55.5% of the studies correspond to publications between 2011 and 2014. Males were the most engaged in burns and prevalent causes were accidental contact with hot liquids and management of alcohol. Most occurred in the home environment, mainly affecting the upper limbs. In everyday nurses deal with physical and emotional care.
