Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence, an annual campaign running from 25 Nov to 10 Dec At ISD, we tackle gender-based harm in all its forms—supporting communities and strengthening our democracies. Gender-based harm affects far more than those directly targeted; it also restricts participation in society, distorts public debate and undermines the democratic process. Across ISD, our teams are expanding work on gendered harms, from foreign information operations and hate and extremism to nonconsensual intimate deepfake tools. Over the next 16 days, we’ll be highlighting our research, partnerships and projects that shed light on the evolving threat of gender-based harm and the work ISD is doing to counter it. Make sure to check back and follow along.
