Today on Women on the Line, we look at some research that’s being done in the space of revenge porn, more accurately labelled, image based abuse.
Recent research has found that one in five australians has experienced image based abuse, mostly in an online environment.
20 per cent had experienced the non-consensual creation of nude or sexual images
11 per cent had experienced the non-consensual distribution of nude or sexual images
9 per cent had experienced the threat of distributing those images
