45 suspects raided nationwide in Germany for online misogyny ahead of International Women's Day.

German police conducted nationwide raids on 45 suspects in 11 states, as part of a coordinated push to highlight online violence against women. The operation, "combating misogyny on the internet," aimed to identify and bring perpetrators of online misogyny to accountability, one day before International Women's Day. In Germany, slander and insults against women in a sexualized manner can be punishable as incitement to hatred.
