The primary objective of this study is to construct a robust theoretical framework that comprehensively examines the phenomenon of femicide, elucidating the multifaceted dimensions through which information is collected and disseminated in the digital realm. In addition to theoretical groundwork, the research endeavors to shed light on the profound impact of social media on individual users. To achieve this, the study employs a survey methodology aimed at gauging users' perceptions regarding the completeness and authenticity of information pertaining to femicide circulating on social media platforms. By addressing the complexities of femicide discourse in the digital space and investigating the perceptions of social media users, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of how information on femicide is shaped, shared, and received in the contemporary digital age. Through a mix of theory and research, this study aims to provide insights that specifically focus on evaluating the reliability of media information regarding femicide, contributing to informed discussions and potential policy actions.
