Abstract
This chapter focuses on women’s bodies as produced, reproduced, and re-colonized in cyberspace.1 Violence as manifested in geographical space is present even in cyberspace inasmuch as the stakeholders, players, perpetrators and victims are humans. Violence takes many forms and its definitions range in breadth.2 While traditional conceptions of violence emphasize war or armed violence and direct violence normally results in visible victims and survivors, the manifestation of violence in cyberspace is much more subtle and to some extent sublime.
