<![CDATA[The increasing number of sexual harassment cases against women in digital spaces indicates the narrowing of safe environments. Many people still assume that sexual harassment occurs due to the victim’s fault, including their behavior, clothing, and way of speaking. This study examines the practice of victim blaming against women in cases of sexual harassment circulating on social media. The focus of this research is on victim blaming experienced by women when reporting perpetrators to authorities as a form of self-defense within the construction of security. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The subject of this research is social media, particularly Instagram, with the object of study being video posts depicting an online motorcycle taxi driver committing sexual harassment against a woman in a mall, including the unauthorized use of the victim’s photo, as well as comments that blame the victim related to the victim’s physical appearance in sexual harassment cases.]]>
