Manipulative campaigns do not just aim at votes — they aim at values. They exploit gender-based vulnerabilities, discrimination, and human rights gaps to reshape public understanding during elections. Targeted narratives often focus on women’s rights, minorities, or LGBTQ+ persons, knowing that social divisions can be powerful tools for influence.

In many election contexts, rights and gender issues are not advanced to promote equality, but distorted to mobilize emotions, discredit opponents, and weaken democratic participation. Narratives around morality, culture, and identity are reframed to manipulate perception and redirect public debate.
