The Need for Authorities to Address Non-Consensual Image Sharing

Experts said that this includes introducing new laws and regulations to prevent non-consensual image sharing, and to provide support to victims of image-based abuse.
Witnesses reported that the current approach to addressing image-based abuse is not effective, and that more needs to be done to prevent harm to women.
