EU Launches C.H.A.S.E Project to Combat Online Gender-Based Hate Speech The European Commission's CERV programme launched C.H.A.S.E in March 2024, targeting rising online hate against women and gender-diverse individuals. Statistics reveal 30.7% of EU women face physical/sexual violence, while 9% encounter sexist abuse online. The project spans Cyprus, France, Greece, and Italy, delivering multi-country research, AI-powered detection tools for real-time hate speech identification, and a Code of Conduct for media organizations. 🛡️ UN Women reports 70% of women journalists experience online violence at work. C.H.A.S.E's awareness campaign launched on International Women's Day across five countries, highlighting that one in four women faces AI-assisted abuse including deepfakes.
