The Rise of Deepfake Threats: Women Politicians Under Siege
In a rapidly digitizing world, the emergence of AI-generated deepfake pornography is posing a significant threat to women politicians globally. This malicious use of technology undermines women’s participation in public life, tarnishing reputations and jeopardizing careers.

From the United States to Italy, female leaders are increasingly targeted, with deepfake content often used for blackmail or harassment, creating barriers to leadership roles.
Challenges in Regulation
As AI tools proliferate, regulatory efforts lag, leaving many victims without recourse. This phenomenon highlights a pressing need for robust global policies to protect individuals from technological exploitation and uphold democratic values.
