For 20 years, ISD has delivered field-leading threat detection, analysis and real-world strategies to combat terrorism, extremism and authoritarianism - in all their ideological forms.

Misogyny

Misogyny is a common feature across organised extremist movements as well as individual users. It spans a gamut including attacks on women in politics, the spread of non-consensual sexual imagery and algorithmic recommendations of toxic dating advice.

ISD works with policymakers, civil society groups and others to document the spread and transformation of online misogyny so they can better combat it.
