Brief Description
In 2023, the Ministry of Women established a partnership with NetLab, a research laboratory linked to the School of Communication (ECO) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), to conduct research focused on misogynistic discourse and disinformation targeting women on social media platforms. With an investment of R$ 300 thousand, the initiative aims to analyze two main forms of disinformation: the production of audiovisual content with hate speech against women that generates revenue on digital platforms and the occurrence of scams and fraud targeting women, which cause financial, psychological and health damage.
