Cybermisogyny & COVID-19 (WSN)

Are you familiar with cybermisogyny? This is your opportunity to learn more about it. The IFPTE Women’s Solidarity Network (WSN) is spotlighting an upcoming online presentation on June 17 at 5:30 EDT hosted by the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) and YWCA Canada on cybermisogyny and COVID-19.

This discussion will explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the reach and harms of cybermisogyny by focusing on the following:

  • How have physical distancing measures during the pandemic heightened the existing root causes of cybermisogyny? 

  • How are online platforms regulated? What are the gaps in how online platforms are regulated, from a substantive equality perspective? 

  • What does an equitable digital space look like and how can we work towards achieving it?

Keep an eye out for our next WSN Feature as we continue to spotlight interesting resources and publications on Women & COVID-19.
