This article explores the ways in which developments in new digital technologies reproduce patriarchal structures and operate to silence women. The author first underlines how patriarchal structures continue to exclude women from accessing and using information and communications technologies (ICTs) and perpetuate gender-based violence against women, which results in their silencing. She then turns to how international human rights architecture, including CEDAW, can be invoked to challenge the patriarchy’s silencing of women through digital technologies. The author suggests that the cause of this silencing is not only the patriarchal culture permeating digital space, but also the failure of states to meet their core human rights obligations under CEDAW. Therefore, she urges that ensuring equality of access to, and use of, digital technologies is necessary in order to ensure that women can benefit from, contribute to, and influence the development of digital technologies in a meaningful manner.
