Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) continues to grow as a serious global issue through the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated deepfakes and “nudify apps," turning digital spaces into hostile environments for women and girls.
Mainstream media, legislators, and tech companies are finally paying attention, but the field needs dedicated investments to build on the momentum and dismantle systems that perpetuate IBSA. Learn how philanthropy can drive change for a safer digital future in the Philanthropic Action Guide: Combatting Online Harms and Image-Based Sexual Abuse. The Guide offers funders a roadmap to take meaningful action toward addressing online harms and image-based sexual abuse.
When we dismantle the systems that perpetuate IBSA, the impact will be transformative: girls will be freer to thrive in school, more women will run for elected office unencumbered by the threats of online violence, and youth will be safer every time they are online. The opportunity to make this future a reality is in our hands.
