Gender Disinformation Handbook

A guide for journalists, communicators, and campaigners.

This handbook is designed to support communicators, campaigners, journalists, and educators. It is the sister publication to the Moldova Disinformation handbook which looks at disinformation in all its forms.

Gender disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda are big subjects. To understand them well you will need an understanding of history, politics, online behaviour, and even biology.

This is because one of the biggest false claims is that gender differences are fixed, universal, and ‘natural’ and that these are ‘traditional values’ which are somehow under threat. The truth is that gender roles vary from culture to culture and have always changed over time.
