Our main findings:
💡Women & men face similar levels, but the nature is gendered: women are targeted in more personal and sexualised ways
💡The main perpetrators are (male) citizens. However, women report more harassment from male colleagues (both from their own party and from other parties)
📄New article out in @actapolitica.bsky.social
