As a Transatlantic Media Fellow, she will continue her research into the rollback of reproductive rights in the United States. Traveling to Washington, D.C., she will report on the digital battle for abortion access and investigate how online censorship restricts essential healthcare information. She will also explore how deepfakes and digital attacks are being used to push (congress)women out of politics, as cyber threats and online abuse increasingly silence voices in public life.
