In the context of personal data processing, there are numerous scenarios that allow for strengthened protections for women regardless of whether or not the conduct carried out is a criminal offense and especially taking into account the obstacles or delays in putting in place effective mechanisms in the police and judicial context. We analyze the various data protection principles and propose different gradations of the right to be forgotten, not only as a guarantee of informational self-determination and female empowerment, but also as a necessary guarantee for effective equality and for the recovery of the most frequent trauma of 21st century women. ; Las investigaciones realizadas hasta la fecha confirman que las mujeres y niñas son las principales víctimas de las manifestaciones más graves de la violencia facilitada por las NTIC. Por ello a la desafortunadamente “clásica” desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres tenemos que añadir lo que hemos llamado “brecha digital por razón de género”, entendida como el traslado al ámbito digital de las desigualdades, estereotipos y actos de violencia que sufren las mujeres, por el mero hecho de ser mujer. Entre las diversas conductas que incluye, en el presente trabajo se han tratado dos casos concretos de ciberviolencia (en concreto dos casos de violencia digital sexualizada) contra la mujer desde la perspectiva de la ...
