The phenomenon of electronic blackmail has grown in the modern era to become among the most serious crimes that threaten the security and safety of societies. In this context, Yemen is witnessing a frightening wave of electronic blackmail crimes, targeting especially girls and women, which highlights the seriousness of this phenomenon.

Electronic blackmail involves seizing personal photos of victims, whether inappropriate or inappropriate, with the aim of forcing them to pay money or achieve personal gain at the expense of their honor and honor.

Behind these crimes are individuals or gangs who exploit information stolen from personal accounts on social media platforms, or recover content from mobile phone devices.

To combat this disturbing phenomenon, individuals should follow some preventive measures, such as not responding to the blackmailer, not offering money, and storing evidence securely.

Any case of electronic blackmail must also be reported to the competent security authorities, who must protect society and ensure its safety.

It is also necessary to educate society about the seriousness of these crimes and improve the legal and security infrastructure to combat them, in addition to tightening penalties for those involved in them.

Police stations, prosecutors, and courts must become safe places for women, making it easier for them to report any crimes they are exposed to.

In the end, society must work hard to change misconceptions about the role and rights of women, and work to create a safe and stimulating environment for women to report the crimes they have been exposed to without fear or hesitation.
