Sexual health #misinformation in India isn't just a medical problem. It's a cultural, emotional, & political one, rooted in shame, moral panic, & control over women's bodies. Challenging it means addressing the taboos that make it powerful. By @oldpinkdog.

For women and girls, seeking sexual health info is seen as a moral transgression. This stigma means unsafe abortions, harmful remedies, leading to success of predatory products, while credible, evidence-based content gets buried. #GenderedDisinformation.

From bans on sex ed to laws that criminalise adolescent consent, young people are left in an information vacuum. This leads to myths, shame-based narratives, & "advice" from unverified online sources, often amplified by algorithms designed for engagement, not accuracy.

👉NEW: In India, talking about sexual health still invites shame & silence. It's a taboo that fuels a flood of #misinformation that harms women & girls the most. @oldpinkdog discusses on @GenderITorg why facts alone aren't enough. #disinformation

.@kavashivani speaks to multiple creators and researchers who describe how Instagram surfaced their content to hostile audiences, sparking waves of caste and gender-based violence. #GenderedDisinformation #TFGBV.

When users engage with Dalit, Bahujan or feminist creators, Instagram often responds by recommending hate, like men’s rights reels, caste denialism, anti-reservation 'debates'. The platform rewards outrage, not safety, while profiting from the violence it amplifies.

NEW: "It doesn’t matter what the content says, as long as it keeps people reacting.". This new @GenderITorg article by @kavashivani discusses how Instagram Reels pushes casteist, misogynistic hate in India, all in the name of engagement. #disinformation
