In Brazil, women in politics face significant online harassment, which discourages them from participating in public discourse and sharing their opinions, reinforcing gender stereotypes.
The MonitorA observatory has allowed female candidates to better understand and navigate the dynamics of online political violence, aiding in their defense against harassment.
Data from MonitorA reveals the troubling prevalence of digital gender-based political violence, highlighting the need for a safer online environment for marginalized voices.
Despite some improvements, the hostile online atmosphere still jeopardizes the involvement of talented women in politics, risking the loss of essential contributions to institutional discussions.
