As we have been cooped up at home during coronavirus lockdown, reports of image-based abuse have skyrocketed.

When we all entered lockdown, digital forms of communication and connection became central to our lives – and that includes our dating lives.

In lockdown, the exchange of nude and sexual images is likely to be a more common way to express our intimacy with another person. Unfortunately, this means perpetrators have greater access to victims’ images to threaten and abuse them.

Many victims of image-based abuse report experiencing shame and humiliation. They often feel violated and exposed by the perpetrator’s actions. It is sometimes friends or family who first see the images when they are distributed online. Sadly, victims can feel judged rather than supported by these vital social lifelines.

Too often we blame the victims. We ask why they took or sent images of themselves in the first place. But now, more than ever, it must be made clear that it is not the exchange of intimate images between consenting adults that is the problem. It is the non-consensual taking, sharing or threatening to share these images that is wrong.

We need to educate the community about the seriousness of these non-consensual and criminal harms. As a community, we must challenge the attitudes that minimise the abuse, blame victims and make excuses for perpetrators.

If you’re a victim of image-based abuse, you can document the evidence and report to police and request the images are removed. But some victims find it difficult to come forward for help. To whom AWARE India is ready to help if you write to us [email protected]

In today's #SafEdTalks, let us understand more about this abuse form and how one can deal with it.
