When a woman’s pictures are leaked in online chats without her consent, the first question some people ask is why she took those in the first place.

These groups were eerily similar to

Sara’s case falls into a first category of photos that are non-consensually circulated online. These are photos and videos co-created by couples in the context of a romantic, often sexual relationship. We often see such visuals emerge in the context of domestic violence, with their production and distribution means of control.

Finally, we have innocent images taken from women and girls’ own social media accounts and shared on chat groups without their consent. While accounts might be set to public or private, the photos are subject to a torrent of sexualised comments and framing after being shared on illicit groups. So it does not help to focus on what women did that resulted in these Telegram chats, or chastise them for innocuous behaviour.We have seen a similar pattern of comments online regarding cases of sexual assault that fixate on the women’s decisions and their reactions in the aftermath of violence, which cleverly diminishes the responsibility of the perpetrator and transfers it to victims.

Clients of AWARE’s Sexual Assault Care Centre share with us the countless hours they spend tracking down images, filing takedown requests with individual social media platforms, changing phone numbers, deleting social media accounts - all to protect themselves from further harm and achieve a modicum of relief after their privacy and autonomy is violated.
