Fighting sexism and hate speech - CSW60 side event…

Gender-based hate speech is a backlash and a threat to women's presence in the public debate. That's why sexism online is an issue of democracy. The Nordic ministers for gender equality have decided to respond to the wave of growing sexism online and hate speech more resolutely. As such the Nordic governments have nominated a panel of national experts to debate at the CSW the most effective ways - including legal and political tools – of how to respond to this situation.
