This study is an analysis of what digital violence in Peru means and how the expansion of the use of information and communication technologies has impacted the generation of digital violence during the period from 2021 to 2024. This study places special emphasis on the protection of children and adolescents in light of the increase in reported cases. This is a quantitative and descriptive analysis based mainly on the findings of the Women's Emergency Center and the official records of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Perú. The results show that digital violence has serious psychological, social, and educational implications for victims, raising awareness for the creation of legal protection mechanisms.
