Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a high-profile social issue affecting one in three women; it was recently described as an ‘endemic problem’ (Warren, 2025). Sexual harassment is disproportionately experienced by younger age groups. Younger audiences’ accessibility to social media means they can be bombarded with videos of misogynistic male influencers sharing hateful and harmful ideas and attitudes towards females. My publication explores the messages these influencers share with their audiences, alongside speeches by influential women highlighting its prevalence and importance of society addressing VAWG.

Aim: To bring attention to both the role that social media plays in the increase of misogynistic and harmful behaviour towards women with the rise in popularity of misogynistic male influencers, while celebrating influential women in the space bringing awareness to and challenging the societal issue.
