Overview

• The INE and International IDEA unveiled the “Fortalecimiento de los ecosistemas de integridad electoral” project to counter digital gendered political violence over five years.
• The initiative will operate in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and Guatemala to modernize electoral bodies’ resilience against online threats.
• Implementation tools include a voluntary registry for victims of online abuse, a digital self-care course developed with TikTok, Meta and civil-society groups, and shared response strategies.
• IDEA Internacional will coordinate capacity-building through awareness campaigns, security training, harassment response protocols and support network development.
• The collaboration emphasizes collective governance, technological innovation and social inclusion to ensure digital platforms support rather than undermine women’s electoral rights.
