Meedan has partnered with leaders in the fields of digital safety, fact-checking and feminist reporting, The Quint and Chambal Media in India, and Digital Rights Foundation in Pakistan, to define, identify, document and annotate a high-quality dataset of gendered disinformation in online spaces and build case studies to develop a better understanding of the issue, build awareness, develop counter strategies, and apply machine learning techniques to identify gendered disinformation online.
The focus of the study titled Gendered disinformation: Deepening perspectives and designing responses is to investigate online gendered disinformation in South Asia targeting women, trans and nonbinary people, as these disinformation campaigns use false, misogynistic and sexualized content to malign and discredit these groups.
