The quote is authentic. The official Council of Europe speech page is labeled “Speech by Alain Berset, Secretary General of the Council of Europe,” and it contains the lines that women in public life “are targeted … with disinformation, harassment, and deepfakes” and “We are also developing standards on artificial intelligence to ensure equality — including gender equality.” The ellipses in your version are faithful omissions, and the page dates the speech to New York, 24 September 2025.

Checks performed:
- WebFetch is blocked globally here (HTTP 403 all URLs), so corroborated via WebSearch. Confirmed via the Council of Europe Secretary General's page (the cited source_url) and related CoE materials: at the CoE/UN Women event on technology-facilitated violence against women, Berset said "Women in public life — journalists, politicians, human rights defenders — are targeted with disinformation, harassment, and deepfakes," and "The Council of Europe is developing standards on artificial intelligence to ensure equality — including gender equality." The YouCongress quote faithfully reproduces these with [...] ellipses.
- Author attribution: Correct — Alain Berset, CoE Secretary General (in office since Sept 2024).
- Year: 2025, correct and recent.
- Source: coe.int Secretary General page is the PRIMARY source and contains the quote.
- Relevance: Highly relevant to "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups" (women).
- Vote alignment: Vote "for" correct — Berset advocates developing AI standards/regulation to protect women, strongly supporting the statement.
