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.

- Vote alignment: Vote "for" correct — Berset advocates developing AI standards/regulation to protect women, strongly supporting the statement.
