Online trolling reduces women's public political participation

The News

Online trolling and harassment are affecting women's political participation in Namibia, with Minister Emma Theofelus noting that many women in politics practice self-censorship by limiting social media engagement. According to political figures, misogynistic attacks aim to undermine women politicians' credibility rather than engage in legitimate political debate, causing them to be more cautious about expressing strong opinions on controversial issues.

Why it matters

Online harassment and trolling demonstrably reduce women's political participation and voice, highlighting a digital-era threat to democratic inclusion.
