The symposium aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of electronic abuse and cyberbullying, enhance digital security by protecting personal data, encourage positive interaction on the Internet, and provide safe reporting mechanisms to reduce the risks of various forms of digital violence against women.

Additionally, the symposium recommended increasing awareness and education about the dangers of digital violence, providing psychological and social support to victims, encouraging victims to report incidents to security authorities, and developing policies and laws that penalize digital violence and offer means of protection.
