For female athletes

The abuse isn't about how you performed. It never is.

Fendr removes sexist, abusive, and hateful comments on your Instagram before they go live. Your audience never sees them. You stay in control.

Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

It's there when you win. It's there when you're injured. It's there when you don't post at all.

For women athletes, online hate has a different character entirely. It's not waiting for a bad result or a mistake. It's there when you win, when you're injured and not even competing, on days when you don't post anything sports-related at all.

When it comes to performance, the scrutiny is different — every decision dissected, every mistake amplified. Then come the questions about whether you belong there at all, whether your achievements are real. And then the comments about your body, your appearance, sexual harassment dressed up as commentary.

This is a different category of hate. Fendr is built to recognise it — not just as flagged keywords, but as the specific, layered abuse that women in sport face.

The tools haven't caught up.

Welfare support in women's sport is improving. But the tools to protect women athletes online haven't kept pace. By the time a comment is reported and reviewed it has already been live for hours, and 70% of reported hate speech stays up anyway. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026)

Most existing tools require the athlete to hand over their Instagram login. With Fendr, that's never required. You connect your own account through Meta's verified integration. Your login stays yours. Always.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
