Abstract

abstract
Cross-sectionally, this study aims at investigating digital gender-based violence among female university students in Saudi Arabia, sampling 620 students from several Saudi universities. The study explored the association between digital violence and a variety of sociodemographic factors. Hence, the study indicated statistically significant disparities in the prevalence of digital gender-based violence in terms of family monthly income and university geographical location. Notably, the study found no statistically significant differences between places of residency, parental educational level, or academic specialization. These findings shed light on the dynamics of digital gender-based violence in Saudi higher education institutions and emphasized the role of socioeconomic variables in addressing this issue. Moreover, the study suggested that intervention methods should consider income gaps and regional variations when establishing preventive measures and support systems for digitally-abused female university students. Empirically, this study added to the field of digital safety and gender-based violence, influenced policy-making and institutional responses to safeguard female students in the digital realm.
