EXPLORING LEGAL AND CYBERTECH SOLUTIONS IN CURTAILING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES ON FEMICIDE

Summary/Abstract: Femicide, the intentional killing of women, remains a prevalent issue within the global terrain, posing significant challenges to societal progress and gender equality. However, despite the outcry and measures put in place to curtail the incidence of femicide, there seems to be an increase in femicide incidence. It is in this regard, that this study investigates the issues concerning femicide within the global terrain, examining its root causes, cyber-tech, and the legal frameworks in place to address issues of femicide. Pertaining to this, the study adopts a doctrinal method of study in examining the issues of femicide within the global terrain. The data generated through primary and existing secondary literature sources was analysed through descriptive and analytical approaches. The study found that there are increased incidences of femicide within the global terrain. Furthermore, the study also found that the potential of cyber-tech solutions to complement traditional legal approaches could aid in combating femicide effectively. The study therefore concludes and recommends that there is a need to intensify the legal structure and incorporate an enhanced cybertech system to prevent and mitigate femicide rates and promote gender justice across the global terrain.
