Women question political careers over death, rape and violence threats

A recent survey of female politicians reveals that half are reconsidering their careers due to escalating threats of death, rape, and physical violence. The findings indicate a significant decline in workplace safety and personal security for women in the political sphere.

Three-quarters of the respondents reported that online abuse has intensified over the past two years. This trend highlights growing concerns regarding the impact of digital harassment on political participation and the long-term retention of women in public office.
