Abstract

The article focuses on how feminist activist groups, specifically the Burundian women's peace organization Mouvement Inamahoro, responded to the misinformation and "fake news" regarding COVID-19 during a public health crisis. It highlights the gendered burden of disinformation on women, particularly in refugee communities, as they became key figures in combating false narratives.
