This week the Network’s steering committee had a meeting with the UN Special Rapporteur on #HRDs @MaryLawlorhrds and briefed her on the situation of Women Human Rights Defenders in Ethiopia.

I met with WHRDs from #Ethiopia earlier this week to discuss the gender-specific risks they are facing, and I heard about continued stigmatization, smearing and threats on social media platforms including @facebook, @instagram, @X & @tiktok_us. These companies must do better.

We urge Ethiopian based mass media and social media companies, content producers, CSOs, governmental authorities, and other stakeholders to work together to take immediate action to address the alarming developments in the rise of sexist and misogynistic content creations.
