Because we still have a hard time believing that cyberviolence can have as devastating a psychological impact as face-to-face interactions, as a U.N. Why? Because we don't understand the impact this so-called "virtual" violence has on the lives of victims and their loved ones.

Hatred against women is being unleashed on social media more than ever.
