On the occasion of the International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organised Crime, it is important to remember that organised crime does not only manifest through drug or arms trafficking.

Red Flags and boundaries: understanding online sexism – from everyday violence to criminal acts
Online sexism isn’t just about explicit insults or hate speech. It often appears through seemingly “harmless” acts: jokes, comments, images or interactions that reinforce stereotypes and normalize gender-based violence. But where is the line between inappropriate behaviour and digital violence? And what are the warning signs – the red flags – we should all learn to recognize? Let’s talk about it with the expert Debora Barletta on 30 October at 4 pm live on Facebook and YouTube.
