Fundación Multitudes

Published purpose

The project aims to increase women and girls' access to civic and political leadership opportunities in Chile, Bolivia, Honduras, Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina to achieve better representation and gender equality. Over a 24-month period, the project would monitor and document the impact of information manipulation on women participating in electoral processes through national-level surveys and statistical analysis, conduct training and workshops to equip women candidates and activists with strategies to identify and combat gendered information manipulation, and launch awareness and advocacy campaigns to educate the public and policymakers on its effects on women's political participation. Additionally, the project would collaborate with regional partners, multi-stakeholder organizations, and tech platforms, where appropriate, to influence improved digital governance measures and policies instituted by state authorities.
