Within the project "Combating gendered disinformation and online violence against women in politics in Montenegro by educating women and advocating campaign", Centre for Monitoring and Research (CeMI), with the support of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives CFLI, has established a system of monitoring social networks from the aspect of gender-based disinformation and online violence against women. The system enables the collection and processing of data indicating elements of digital gender-based violence and discrimination, ie hate speech and organized negative campaigns conducted to discredit women present in political and public life in Montenegro.

CeMI is the first non-governmental organization in Montenegro to establish a system of gender-responsive monitoring of social networks through the CrowdTangle platform, with the support of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI). By creating a Live Display, ie an online platform that is available at the following link https://apps.crowdtangle.com/womencfli/boards/womeninpoliticsinmontenegro  , citizens are enabled to follow publicly available content on Facebook concerning women in politics and public life in Montenegro.

We are especially pleased with the fact that the participation of citizens is enabled within the project. Through the mobile and web application "Fair Elections" (https://www.ferizbori.me/), citizens can report disinformation and online harmful content directed against women, by clicking on the option "report irregularity or violation of rights", and by filling out online forms.

In order to inform the citizens of Montenegro, CeMI will publish a report on the collected data, reports and identified violations of rights in the online space, with an analysis of the current situation in this area in Montenegro.
