Background: Introducing Gender-Based Disinformation The political and economic costs of traditional military conflict have increased the appeal of foreign disinformation campaigns (Ang, Anwar, and Jayakumar 2021). [...] The Dynamics of Gender-Based Disinformation Gender-based disinformation is also a tool of state-sponsored hybrid warfare. [...] This form of disinformation is characterized by the spread of narratives that evoke traditional constructs of masculinity and femininity to fulfill political, social, and economic goals (Thakur and Hankerson 2022). [...] Though more research is required to understand the extent to which gender-based disinformation is prevalent in the Canadian context, Canada remains vulnerable to this form of foreign interference. [...] Although this brief has sought to summarize the implications of gender-based disinformation on Canada’s national security, there is little empirical evidence that uses primary data from the Canadian information space to study disinformation and gendered narratives in the 5 February 2024 Gender-Based Disinformation: A Tool of Hybrid Warfare Volume 9, Issue 1 Canadian context.
