Webinar Report: Building Safer Digital Spaces for Women in Politics
Source: Report PDF version
Digital spaces offer both opportunities and risks for women in politics. While online platforms can enhance visibility, engagement, and political participation, they also expose women to harassment, disinformation, and exclusion risks that are amplified for marginalized groups. A recent discussion highlighted how social norms, gender biases, and power hierarchies are reproduced online, and explored strategies to protect women, including legal frameworks, community support, digital literacy, and proactive allyship. The conversation emphasized the need for systemic accountability, individual resilience, and cultural change to create safer, more inclusive digital spaces for women’s political participation worldwide.
