ADPD Chairperson and MEP candidate Sandra Gauci recently posted a video on Instagram where she read mean online comments directed at her. The video was captioned, “Why women do not enter politics. Insults, harassment of all sorts. These are some of the insults I got during this campaign.”
In the video, Gauci explained that she typically avoids reading such comments because they are not constructive and often focus on her appearance or voice. Despite this, she showed a sense of humour about the situation, making light of the insults rather than taking them personally.
Gauci’s post aims to highlight the harassment that female politicians often face. By sharing her experiences, she hopes to shed light on the challenges women encounter in politics. Her reaction to the comments shows resilience and a commitment to push past the negativity as she continues her campaign for the European Parliament elections this Saturday.
