En todo el mundo, las muje­res líde­res enfren­tan nive­les terri­bles de desin­for­ma­ción de género y abuso en línea, con conse­cu­en­cias dramá­ti­cas para su liber­tad de expre­sión, así como para los dere­chos de las muje­res y la demo­cra­cia en gene­ral. Sin embargo, sus pers­pec­ti­vas a menudo faltan en las conver­sa­ci­o­nes clave sobre demo­cra­cia y tecno­lo­gía.

Con una combi­na­ción de más de veinte años de expe­ri­en­cia en demo­cra­cia y dere­chos de las muje­res, Lucina y Kris­tina crea­ron #ShePer­sis­ted para apro­ve­char las voces de las muje­res líde­res a nivel mundial y asegu­rarse de que sean parte de conver­sa­ci­o­nes cruci­a­les sobre la reforma de la plata­forma digi­tal.

Un nuevo informe (inglés) de #ShePer­sis­ted analiza cómo los movi­mi­en­tos polí­ti­cos y los gobi­er­nos utili­zan la desin­for­ma­ción para soca­var la parti­ci­pa­ción polí­tica de las muje­res, atacar los dere­chos huma­nos y debi­li­tar las insti­tu­ci­o­nes democrá­ti­cas. Incluye un examen de las acci­o­nes que los gobi­er­nos y las plata­for­mas digi­ta­les han «tomado, o con mayor frecu­en­cia, no han tomado, para abor­dar este problema».

Our rese­arch has been featu­red by some of the world’s leading media outlets, inclu­ding The New York Times and The Washing­ton Post, and presen­ted at webi­nars and round­ta­bles with influ­en­tial stake­hol­ders and insti­tu­ti­ons like the Orga­ni­sa­tion for Econo­mic Co-opera­tion and Deve­lop­ment (OECD), the Orga­ni­za­tion for Secu­rity and Co-opera­tion in Europe (OCSE), the Inter­na­ti­o­nal Foun­da­tion for Elec­to­ral Systems (IFES), UN Women, and many more. Recor­dings of these events can be found here, and previ­ous events we’ve taken part in here.

Below are some of our arti­cles high­ligh­ting the inter­sec­ti­ons of gende­red disin­for­ma­tion and the featu­red themes.

This cate­go­ri­za­tion touches on the larger themes of the high­ligh­ted resour­ces. Howe­ver, it should be noted there is a cros­so­ver of these topics in every area due to the inter­dis­ci­pli­nary nature of this work.

Suppor­ting Women Leaders

 

#ShePer­sis­ted designs and imple­ments compre­hen­sive commu­ni­ca­ti­ons stra­te­gies for women in poli­tics, inclu­ding tailo­red trai­ning on how to respond to gende­red disin­for­ma­tion and online abuse. We are buil­ding on the work of the Women’s Disin­for­ma­tion Defense Project, a unique effort esta­blis­hed with seve­ral influ­en­tial women’s poli­ti­cal orga­ni­za­ti­ons in the U.S. Our advice is based on the latest rese­arch and tools avai­la­ble – such as Ultra­Vi­o­let’s inno­va­tive Fair­ness Media Guide for repor­ting on sexist and racist disin­for­ma­tion without repli­ca­ting it. 

 
 

In June 2022, we rele­a­sed our Digi­tal Resi­li­ence Tool­kit, which brings toget­her exis­ting resour­ces for digi­tal secu­rity and tactics for preven­ting and hand­ling the online harms most commonly expe­ri­en­ced by women leaders online. It inclu­des resour­ces and guidance on respon­ding to doxxing, trolling, online smear campaigns, and coor­di­na­ted abuse, and outli­nes certain steps that can help women in the public eye who have found them­sel­ves the target of online abuse. The tool­kit can be down­lo­a­ded here.

 

We support the work of women poli­ti­cal leaders at the fore­front of the strug­gle for demo­cracy and human rights by enabling them to build alli­an­ces across borders, strengt­he­ning our collec­tive efforts to improve the perfor­mance and vigi­lance of the domi­nant social plat­forms. We have colla­bo­ra­ted with orga­ni­za­ti­ons such as Vital Voices, the Ellen John­son Sirleaf Presi­den­tial Center for Women and Deve­lop­ment, the Women Legis­la­tors’ Lobby, Inter­na­ti­o­nal IDEA, the Inter-Ameri­can Insti­tute of Human Rights, and many others to incre­ase the digi­tal resi­li­ence of high-level women poli­ti­ci­ans and elec­to­ral bodies and provide advice on how to respond to gende­red disin­for­ma­tion.
