SUN Expert Speaker Programme: Misogyny, the Manosphere and Incel Movement - navigating toxic narratives

The Manosphere is a network of online men’s communities promoting anti-feminist and sexist beliefs encouraging resentment, misogyny, hatred or even violence towards women and girls, as well as potential links to extremist groups and ideologies. Recently, there has been an increase in support for misogynistic influencers and content encouraging misogyny online. During this session, Dalveer Sohal, Prevent Community Engagement Officer for Leeds Prevent, will talk about this emerging threat and provide an overview of the Manosphere with links to extremist ideologies. The session will provide guidance on how to tackle this concern, and a post-session training pack will be sent to anyone attending.
