Women politicians attacked more on Facebook

A study by Tech Global Institute reveals that women politicians, especially from BNP, faced increased online harassment during Bangladesh’s recent elections. The research analyzed 25,000 Facebook posts, finding widespread disinformation and gender-based attacks. BNP leaders and their families were targeted more than Awami League members. The study highlights the need for better enforcement of existing laws and increased public awareness about social media use to combat online violence against women. Prothom Alo
