Does Facebook really support Women's rights?
Facebook's score is derived primarily by the information published by CNN from internal Facebook documents, that reveal the company was aware its platform was used to facilitate "domestic servitude," which is defined as "a form of trafficking of people for the purpose of working inside private homes through the use of force, fraud, coercion or deception." Facebook has been called out many times in the past as a platform where illegal content and misinformation spread too easily on all sorts of social issues across the globe. Women's rights is yet another example of an area where the company can, and should, do better.
