As part of the project "A step towards gender equality: the fight against digital gender-based hate speech and violence", CeMI produced an informative video on the topic of digital gender-based hate speech and violence. The project is financially supported by the Ministry of Justice, Human and Minority Rights of Montenegro.

We are witnessing increasingly frequent occurrences of systemic internet violence against dissenters in Montenegro, which is coordinated by various political centers. Prominent individuals in society, creators of public opinion, leaders of NGOs become the target of brutal campaigns of lies and insults. The goal is to intimidate those who are the target, but also to threaten everyone else who expresses their opinion. One of the groups most exposed to this type of violence are women in public life and politics. Unfortunately, apart from the absence of an adequate reaction from the institutions, society also does not have an adequate response to combat this problem.

It is important to work on educating women about their digital rights, to recognize online violence, and to inform them of the protection mechanisms available to them, which is one of the goals of the video available below.
