patricia.blatnik@fm-kp.si za pravice žensk so pogosto napačno prikazani v skrajni luči, kar vodi v polariza-
cijo družbe. Poleg tega lažne novice širijo izkrivljene podatke o plačni neenako-
sti ter napačne informacije o zakonskih reformah, povezanih z enakopravnostjo
spolov. Za soočanje z lažnimi novicami je ključnega pomena izobraževanje o me-
dijski pismenosti, podpora ženskam, ki so tarče lažnih novic, preverjanje dejstev
ter zakonodajni ukrepi za regulacijo širjenja dezinformacij. Le z ozaveščanjem in
s pravnimi sredstvi lahko učinkovito naslovimo vpliv lažnih novic na enakost spo-
lov. To delo je podprla EU v okviru programa Obzorje Evropa, projekt AGRIGEP št.

The Impact of Fake News and Disinformation on Gender Equality Efforts
Fake news and disinformation play an important role in shaping public opinion
about gender equality, as they can reinforce stereotypes, spread misinformation
andinfluencepublicperceptionofgenderissues.Inrecentyears,digitalplatforms
have accelerated the dissemination of fake news, posing a serious threat to gen-
der equality. Fake news often perpetuates or even strengthens gender stereo-
types by portraying women in traditional roles and diminishing their societal im-
portance. The discrediting of women in leadership positions is common, espe-
cially in politics and business, where false information about their capabilities is
spread. Another issue is the dissemination of disinformation about victims of sex-
ual violence, where fake news discredits women and makes it more difficult for
them to access justice. Feminism and efforts for women’s rights are often misrep-
resented in an extreme light, leading to societal polarisation. Additionally, fake
news spreads distorted data on pay inequality and false information regarding
legislative reforms related to gender equality. Addressing fake news requires me-
