Research: Disengagement from online misogynistic incel communities and its implications for attitudes to gendered violence

This study used a qualitative survey of self-identified former incels to determine motivations for disengagement, strategies to facilitate disengagement, and whether and how their attitudes towards violence against women changed with disengagement.

While motivations varied, the strongest was dissillusionment, often leading to improved attitudes towards women.

Survey A - Stripped

Stripped (After the Deepfake) is a research on Nudify Apps, Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence, and Non-Consensual Intimate Image Sharing (NCII) This survey is part of a research project examining the impact of nudify apps and non-consensual intimate image sharing (NCII), with a focus on how these technologies affect people’s lives and how reporting, redress, and support systems are working in practice, especially how victims are treated after the fact. The goal is to better understand these experiences in order to inform research, advocacy, and policy discussions. This survey is the first stage of the research.

COMMUNICATION for our Palestinian friends who follow us

EDIT : Addition at the end of the message:

Information about explicit threats concerning your children[1][2] has prompted us to ask you:

  • to refrain from using photos or videos of your children without hiding their faces
  • to refrain from indicating your location and from taking photos or videos of places that are recognisable from the outside
  • to delete or modify your messages that contained sensitive photos/videos/information

We are a non-profit collective with no formal structure. We understand that these funds are your only means of subsistence and that in a less urgent situation, you would not share this information. That is why we are looking for solutions to continue to make your voices heard and raise awareness of your needs without exposing you to further external threats.
Please feel free to discuss this with us!

We will, of course, continue to provide you with all the necessary support while complying with minimum safety rules so that as many people as possible can help you financially!

We have also received reports of harassment, attempted blackmail, and sexual violence against Palestinian women.

When you register for assistance, for example by filling out a form, please verify that it comes from a recognized organization and that the contact information is accurate.
