This lecture explores cyberspace as a dynamic environment where new forms of identity, power, and justice emerge. It focuses on the legal challenges of the digital age, particularly issues of gender equality, digital identity protection, and technology regulation.

Special attention will be given to the position of women in digital environments, their vulnerability to cyber violence, digital discrimination, and limited access to technology. The lecture also opens up discussions on intersectionality, data justice, and digital activism as tools for achieving equality in cyberspace. The aim is to critically reflect on how law can contribute to a more just digital world, especially for women and other marginalized groups.

Dr. Dominik Šoltys is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, where he teaches courses such as Legal Thinking, Legal Ethics, Theory of State and Law, and Gender Aspects of Law. His teaching and research focus on the critical reflection of law within social, philosophical, and ideological contexts.

He is the author of the first systematic publication on legal feminism in Slovak legal scholarship – A H(andb)ook of Legal Feminism (2022), which analyzes legal feminism as a distinct legal-philosophical approach and maps its ideological forms, theoretical positions, and different waves. In his book Contemporary Forms of Legal Philosophy (2022), he introduces postmodern and critical legal theories, including critiques of patriarchy, racism, and heteronormativity.

Currently, he explores the impact of cyberspace and posthumanist thought on feminist legal theories, aiming to develop interdisciplinary approaches to law that transcend traditional legal frameworks.
