After Monday’s panel, we continue the conversation with Nicté Cabañas: How does gendered disinformation silence women, shrink digital spaces and threaten democracy? Join us in the pop-up space to explore strategies to push back and reclaim the web.

Gendered disinformation is used worldwide to silence women who dare to be visible in politics and public life. After Monday’s panel, we pick up the conversation with Nicté Cabañas at the stand: What do these attacks look like? Why are they a threat to democracy? And what can civil society, media, platforms and policymakers do to push back?

Join us for an informal conversation on online harassment, gendered smear campaigns, democratic participation and the fight to reclaim the web as a space for everyone.
