This research aims to determine multi-stakeholders’ role in collaborating to prevent and handle the spread of gendered disinformation.
The research utilised a qualitative approach through secondary data analysis and a descriptive literature review.
The research results show that gendered disinformation is not only experienced by women who are active in the public sphere, but can also be directed at children as well as young women who utilise social media. The spread of gendered disinformation prevents women from actively voicing their aspirations in utilising social media.
The research provides a comprehensive analysis of hoax information, offering practical recommendations for mitigation, emphasising the importance of digital literacy, media literacy, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to combat misinformation and empower individuals to make informed decisions. Research Implications: This research highlights the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address the pervasive issue of hoaxes, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women and children. These strategies should prioritise digital literacy and media literacy education, foster multi-stakeholder collaboration, and implement targeted policies to combat misinformation and empower individuals to make informed decisions.
