It's pervasive and dangerous. Plenty of research (academic and practitioner works) cited in my article.

What has gender got to do with misinformation?

"Some issues can be addressed through digital literacy, but others require deeper shifts in social and patriarchal attitudes."

What Has Gender Got to Do With Misinformation?
Despite a rapid rise in its threat perception, the discourse around mis/disinformation, both in media and academic texts, remains surprisingly narrow.

💣 Russische Propaganda greift nicht nur unsere Demokratien an – sie greift gezielt unsere Rollenbilder und unsere Rechte an. Wer heute Anti‑Gender‑Memes liked, kann morgen schon mitten in Putins Desinfo‑Netz stecken. 🧵👇

#GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025 Disinformation often targets women with deepfakes, harassment & false narratives to silence them. This undermines their rights, careers & safety. We need safer online spaces & better digital literacy to fight back.

Targeted and mass surveillance of women and queer human rights defenders uses #GenderedDisinformation when it manifests. #CSW69

Their private lives may be used to discredit their work or shame them — but this specific targeting needs to be acknowledged and redressed. (4/4)

But it's not just a woman's issue. It has larger consequences for how our societies function.

Tech-facilitated #GBV like #GenderedDisinformation drastically undermines the free and fair functioning of democracies by chilling free expression.

#GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025 Gendered disinformation uses false narratives to discourage women from participating in the public sphere and contributing to society. This is especially harmful because the internet can amplify the spread of disinformation

In an increasingly online world, women are affected by disinformation campaigns meant to slow progress toward gender equality. It is important that women are empowered to have a voice online without disinformation campaigns meant to target them.

Disinformation affects different genders differently. There are many targeted attacks of disinformation against women in political and journalistic positions. An example being how people argue that women cannot be the president because they are too emotional. #GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025

Learning about gendered disinformation which is used to "silence women, to push them to self-censorship, and to restrict their civic space." It is important to recognize this phenomenon and help women freely express themselves. #GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025

That's basically all you need to know.

We, as grown-ups, have to learn differently. And we need to teach our kids differently.

The media has been used to suppress women through decades. I really admire women in active roles such as journalists and politics that challenge the male dominated production of information.

Reputations are destroyed, women are seen as not valuable and competent enough to gain rights, and some are put in danger due to their country's legislation. #GenderedDisinformation

One interesting fact is that gendered disinformation targets women and feminist movements, using false narratives to silence them and push for self-censorship, ultimately restricting their public participation and civic space.

From false narratives and online harassment, to misinformation about reproductive health, dealing with gendered disinformation is key in protecting women’s rights and ensuring equal participation in society.

​Disinformation disproportionately affects women, especially in politics, aiming to silence or exploit them through sexist attacks focusing on appearance over work. Misleading reproductive health information and harassment, like doxxing, also heavily impact women. #GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025

Gendered disinformation targets women with false narratives to undermine their credibility and silence their voices—it's a threat to democracy and equality. #GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025

Gendered disinformation is a serious issue. It spreads lies to silence women, especially those fighting for equality. It doesn’t just hurt individuals, but damages movements and limits women’s voices, rights, and freedom to speak up. #GenderedDisinformation #OCCP2025
