Misogyny on the Internet - searches in eleven countries. Women were sexually slandered and insulted or publicly asked to send nude photos.
The authorities also discovered posts advocating rape or sexual assault or even videos of torture and killings being publicly distributed. The basis for the initiative is a ruling by the Cologne Higher Regional Court, in which it was confirmed that general denigration of women can be punishable as incitement to hatred (ref. 1 RVs 77/20) The day of action is part of the “Combating Misogyny On The Internet’ project, which has been running since 2022.
