Re-sharing a guide I published last year. It offers practical and granular suggestions for victim-survivors of image-based abuse, especially those in the global majority world, to remove the violative content while safeguarding their privacy and identity online.
A few survivors have told me they appreciate the guide. One said she wishes she had access to this resource when she was dealing with her situation a few years ago.
The guide may also be useful for those who support or accompany victim-survivors, especially when they are not in the position to work on removing the non-consensual and privacy-violating content themselves.
Sharing this PDF version of the first part for easy download and sharing: https://zenodo.org/records/14561039
There is also a DOI in this version in case anyone wants to cite it.
This guide offers practical suggestions for victim-survivors of image-based abuse, especially those living in the global majority world, to remove the violative content while safeguarding their privacy and identity online. It may also be useful for those who support or accompany victim-survivors. This guide contains two parts. The second part is a legal guide for victim-survivors in India.
