What Is Image-Based Abuse?
Image-based abuse is a severe form of technology-facilitated violence that often begins under the guise of love and trust.
“At first, everything seemed to start with love — „Send me a photo, it will be just for me“… but that trust turned into fear, threats, and emotional abuse,” — Lika, 23
Threats to share private images or intimate content without consent are used as tools of control, intimidation, and power.
Trust is not a crime.
The crime is abusing that trust.
