Online threats, cyber violence and disinformation, including deepfakes and AI‑generated content, contribute to broader pressures on democracy by undermining trust and can silence voices, including women’s by restraining their freedom of expression. Violence targeting women in politics leads to under‑representation. The EU and the European Parliament in particular, has recognised the seriousness of such phenomena and reinforces its efforts to support women in their efforts to overcome these serious obstacles to political participation. This infoclip illustrates women and young girls browsing through social media platforms, journalists verifying information using online tools, female journalists preparing and recording or broadcasting shows for various media and female leaders and politicians acting in their official capacities in different occasions/ events.

Roxana MÎNZATU, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, closes the debate on EU response to the continuous airspace violations and sabotage of critical infrastructure in the EU originating from Russia and Belarus. The debate comes after Lithuania shut its border crossings with Belarus at the end of October 2025 after authorities detected smuggling balloons drifting from Belarus into Lithuanian airspace. The balloons, officials say, posed a threat to civil aviation and are part of a continuous hybrid operation orchestrated by dictator Aliaksandr Lukashenka’s Belarusian government. The plenary debate with the Commission is also expected to refer to a recent explosion on a railway line in Poland, which Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk referred to as “an unprecedented act of sabotage”.
