AI-generated deepfake technology is increasingly being weaponized against women, particularly female politicians, to tarnish reputations and deter them from public life.Azma Bukhari (Pakistan) faced public humiliation due to deepfake videos. Fear of harassment discourages women’s political participation, threatening gender equality in governance.Deepfakes enable blackmail and spread disinformation, as seen in culturally sensitive cases like Meena Majeed (Pakistan). Women without resources, unlike U.S. Congress members, struggle to have fake content removed.
