Women, equality or feminism are some of the key targets of hoaxes, and Maldito Feminismo will be there to combat them at https://feminismo.maldita.es. Data taken out of context or false figures — we see it more and more: public discourse is poisoned with manipulated comparisons and fallacious arguments that attack the feminist movement in order to discredit the fight for equality between men and women.

Almost a third of the queries we handle at Maldita.es have to do with gender issues, with possible hoaxes about these topics, and if you have these doubts, journalism must be there to resolve them. That is why Maldito Feminismo is born. Journalism and fact-checking against lies. Seeking the truth in data and verified facts; trying to explain all the nuances in order to understand complex issues and shedding light on the disinformation that fuels sexist discourses in our society.
Maldito Feminismo is possible thanks to the support of Plan International, but it will only be effective if we are a useful tool and have you by our side. We need to build a strong and cohesive community to fight lies if we want to stop them.
Let’s come together, because together is the only way they won’t fool us.
