Co-organised in partnership with the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media.
Gender-specific and sexualized campaigns capitalizing on biased gender narratives and exploiting misogyny not only defame women journalists, discredit their personal and professional reputation, but also reinforce harmful stereotypes and hate. Such online abuse is typically aimed at denying women a public voice and silencing them individually, especially those with intersectional identities, as well as at avoiding scrutiny and undermining public trust in fact-based journalism.
In this roundtable, organized by the OSCE RFoM, we will identify steps to address gendered disinformation against journalists and its detrimental impact on media pluralism and information spaces.
