The proliferation of deepfake technology has led to a growing threat against women in politics, with numerous female lawmakers targeted by AI-generated pornographic images and videos. In the UK, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner was among over 30 British female politicians found to be targeted by a deepfake porn website, while Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is seeking damages from two men accused of creating deepfakes featuring her. In Pakistan, lawmakers Meena Majeed and Azma Bukhari were also victims of deepfakes, with the latter saying she felt "shattered" after discovering a video that superimposed her face on the body of an Indian actor. The trend is having a "silencing effect" on women in politics, according to experts, who warn that it will have far-reaching consequences if left unchecked.
