A new study across five European nations reveals nearly all Hungarian female lawmakers have experienced gender-based abuse, including online harassment, sexualization, and psychological manipulation. Shockingly, none of these politicians reported the incidents. Researchers link Hungary’s particularly negative results to the political climate fostered under the Orbán government. The abuse extends beyond disagreement with political stances, focusing instead on personal attacks targeting the women’s bodies and appearance. This creates a hostile environment that discourages reporting and accountability. The study highlights a systemic issue of sexism within Hungarian politics and a lack of mechanisms to address it effectively. The findings underscore a broader concern about the safety and representation of women in political life across Europe.
