Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by women in maintaining digital security amid rising cyberattacks and examines the effectiveness of gender-sensitive policies and educational programs aimed at improving women’s cybersecurity. As cyber threats increasingly target women, understanding their unique vulnerabilities and the role of specific protective measures is crucial. The research utilizes a quantitative approach with a structured questionnaire distributed to 150 participants across four faculties of an online university, including Medical, Economics, Education, and Computer Science. The data collected were analyzed to assess perceptions of digital security challenges, the effectiveness of gender-sensitive policies, and the importance of educational programs in enhancing women’s participation in cybersecurity. Results indicate that while gender-sensitive policies are viewed as somewhat effective, there is significant support for targeted educational programs to increase women’s involvement in cybersecurity. The findings highlight the need for more refined policies and better educational initiatives to address women’s unique digital security needs effectively. The study underscores the importance of implementing comprehensive strategies to improve women’s cybersecurity and promote their active participation in the sector.

Abstract

This study examines the adverse effects of social media on women's mental health, body image, and overall well-being. Utilizing a quantitative research methodology, a survey was conducted among 150 students from four faculties at an online university, focusing on their social media usage patterns and perceptions. The purpose of this research is to investigate how engagement with social media influences women’s self-esteem, body image concerns, and experiences of cyberbullying. Data analysis was performed using Excel to derive frequency distributions and percentages, revealing that a significant proportion of respondents reported negative impacts related to social media use. Results indicated that 40% of participants felt their social media usage contributed to negative body image perceptions, while 26.67% experienced cyberbullying or harassment at least sometimes. These findings underscore the complex interplay between social media engagement and women's mental health, suggesting a need for interventions to mitigate these adverse effects. In conclusion, while social media provides avenues for connection, it also poses significant risks that require attention from educators and policymakers. The study highlights the importance of promoting digital literacy and resilience among female users to navigate these challenges effectively.
