A new study by Agora Digitale Transformation provides the first systematic assessment of the extent to which female MEPs are affected by AI-generated sexualised violence. In addition to the 147 previously identified cases involving national parliamentarians, the study identifies a further 50 MEPs who have been affected, 46 of them women. This means that around one in six female MEPs has now been affected.
In a letter initiated by Greens/EFA Chair Terry Reintke and MEP Lena Schilling, and supported by the group leaders of the Social Democrats, Liberals and the Left, MEPs call on the European Commission and the Member States to take decisive action against sexualised AI deepfakes and to effectively enforce the ban on so-called “nudifier” apps from 2 December 2026.
