WFD Albania, in cooperation with the Gender Alliance Development Centre (GADC), monitored violence against women in politics during the parliamentary election campaign held on 25 May 2025. This effort built on and sustained the work initiated prior to the election period. The monitoring mainly focused on online and social media platforms, where much of the abuse tends to occur. Reports submitted through the platform www.stopvawp.al, integrated into the Central Election Commission's official website, were also included in the monitoring process.

The findings of the report reveal a concerning level of hate speech directed at women in politics. The report also details how women candidates and political and civil society activists were subjected to sexism, online harassment, and coordinated attacks, both on social media and in traditional media outlets throughout the campaign.

In response, the report offers concrete recommendations to improve institutional coordination and foster stronger collaboration with civil society. These measures aim to ensure a safer, more inclusive public space for women engaged in political and public life. The findings reinforce the urgent need for systemic action to combat gender-based violence in politics and to uphold democratic values of equality and participation.
