"The example of Brazil shows that online gender-based violence has a direct impact on the electoral process"

The French presidential campaign is overshadowed by foreign information manipulation, while technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) also poses significant threats. Defined by UN Women, TFGBV includes acts amplified by digital tools that harm individuals, particularly women and gender minorities. This violence limits public debate participation, impacting electoral processes. Brazil's upcoming presidential election highlights the effects of TFGBV, with a significant percentage of women reporting digital violence, particularly during elections, where they face a disproportionate amount of offensive comments compared to their representation as candidates.
