Experts warn justice system ill-equipped to handle digital crimes

From November 25 to December 10 each year, the United Nations urges governments to go beyond slogans and tackle violence against women. This year, the UN's UNiTE campaign has shifted focus to a newer frontline: the internet.

Every year, the global community observes countless designated days, organises events, undertakes projects, and spends millions with the aim of eradicating gender-based violence against women and girls. Yet, despite decades of effort, the needle has barely moved.

Studies reveal startling trends: adolescents spending over three hours daily on social media are twice as likely to face anxiety and depression.
