<Abstract>Gender is considered a socially constructed perspective of human beings. It has crossed centuries with evolved dimensions. This paper describes a version of the gender dimension in correspondence to cyberspace. This technological emancipation of women paved the way for long-term underlying patriarchic practices of societies to cross into cyberspace. Due to the influx of individuals of all ages, nationality, political beliefs, and religions the internet serves as a platform to present and augment their personalistic viewpoints. Such practices are less supervised in developing countries vis-__ampersandsignagrave;-vis third-world states. But increasingly enough gender-based bullying shows dense data on the targeted debasement of females even in more progressive states. Cyberviolence, in many forms, carried the conservativeness and misogynistic nature of netizens into a much grander stigma. The availability of multicultural entertainment options, social media, and barrierless cyberspace have all contributed to the worldwide deviance in moral understanding. The bygone pandemic only attributed to these phenomena. In more nuanced terms, the paper’s essence concerns itself with the frequency of cyberviolence against women in the face of a new-normal global pandemic setting. It aims to provide an overall outlook on this issue pertaining to the contemporary global zeitgeist.</Abstract>
