Online hate speech targets both women and men. However, men are more likely to fall victim to attacks involving threats of violence and references to their profession and competence, whereas women are more likely to experience sexist and sexually charged offences. Still, the legal protection for victims of gender-based hate speech is non-existent. This is shown in the report Hat och hot på nätet [hate and threats online] carried out by Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK).
