This digital informational banner, created by the Women Fund 'Sukhumi' and entitled 'Gender Disinformation - Myths and Reality,' addresses common misconceptions about gender-based violence and reveals the reality behind these myths. It challenges harmful and false beliefs that circulate in society, such as the idea that women domestic violence survivors provoke violence, that domestic violence is a private family matter, that fighting against domestic violence destroys families, and that feminism undermines traditional family values.
With the information on the banner, readers will discover the truth behind these common myths and understand the real dimensions of gender-based violence.
In the new social clip from the Women's Fund 'Sukhumi', actresses Nino Tcholadze and Nantso Tsvirashvili from Kutaisi's Lado Meskhishvili State Drama Theater explain how to recognize gender identity disinformation.
Embrace the truth and reject gender identity disinformation!
The Women's Fund "Sukhumi" presents its new information brochure: "Gender Disinformation - Features, Tactics and Detection Methods", which shows how false and inaccurate information is used to discredit, intimidate, and silence women, especially those active in the public sphere. The brochure outlines key characteristics and common tactics of gender disinformation, such as spreading gender stereotypes, victim-blaming, and attacking women's intellectual abilities. Additionally, the brochure provides practical advice on identifying and countering gender misinformation through source verification, cross-referencing with independent sources, and using reliable fact-checking websites.
We present a new social video from the Women's Fund 'Sukhumi', featuring actresses Nino Choladze and Nantso Tsvirashvili, and actor Saba Nutsubidze, who explain the essence of gender identity disinformation.
Embrace the truth and reject gender identity disinformation!
The Women's Fund 'Sukhumi' launched a social campaign called “Accept the Truth, Reject Gender Identity Disinformation”. Active journalists, bloggers, Mass Communication students, and activists are participating in the campaign.
The aim of the project is to combat gender identity disinformation and to increase awareness and empathy within the ethical regional media community.
On June 8 and 9, 2024, the Women's Fund 'Sukhumi' organized training for regional journalists and students from the Faculty of Journalism at Akaki Tsereteli State University on gender disinformation and gender-responsive reporting. The training aimed to increase the participants' awareness and skills in identifying gender disinformation and practicing gender-sensitive reporting.
On the first day of the training, June 8, 18 journalists from media outlets operating in Imereti, including TV, radio, online media agencies, and independent bloggers attended. On June 9, 23 first- to fourth-year students from the Faculty of Journalism at Akaki Tsereteli State University attended.
The participants evaluated the training as useful and informative. They emphasized the importance of the knowledge and skills they acquired, which they plan to use in their daily activities. Discussing real examples and practical recommendations contributed to a better understanding of the problems and helped identify effective ways to combat gender misinformation.
The Women's Fund "Sukhumi" launched a new campaign about gender disinformation with the slogan "Embrace the truth, reject gender disinformation."
