Study reports 628 cases of digital violence against female candidates in Morocco
A study has revealed that candidates for the 2026 parliamentary elections in Morocco faced various forms of digital violence during the campaign period, including defamation, gender-based insults, and the spread of fake news and unreliable information. The research, covering the period from September 10 to 23, recorded 628 instances of digital attacks targeting 42 female candidates, including 481 cases of defamation, 436 cases of hate speech, and 405 cases of disseminating unverified information. Most violations overlapped, such as defamation combined with targeting private life, reflecting multiple harms ranging from damage to reputation to invasion of privacy. The study pointed out that the Digital Violence Law faces challenges in proving violations and called for the establishment of national mechanisms to receive complaints, as well as enhanced support and training for female candidates to ensure effective protection of women's participation in political life, especially from defamation campaigns and online intimidation.
