Non-consensual intimate image (NCII) sharing, commonly known as revenge porn, is a critical and escalating issue that affects millions globally, with a profound and disproportionate impact on women. The urgency of this problem is underscored by the tenfold increase in calls to the SWGfL Revenge Porn Helpline since 2019. This talk will introduce www.stopncii.org, a pioneering initiative by SWGfL that is revolutionizing the fight against NCII on a global scale.
