What is digital rape?

Digital rape refers to the non-consensual use of digital technology to harass, manipulate, or abuse someone. This can include actions such as sharing intimate photos or videos without consent, coercing someone into sending explicit images, or impersonating someone online to engage in sexual conversations.

Digital rape is a form of cyber sexual assault that can have serious and long-lasting consequences for the victim, including emotional distress, humiliation, and in some cases, legal repercussions for the perpetrator.

It is important to educate oneself on digital consent and respect boundaries when engaging in online interactions to prevent incidents of digital rape. If you or someone you know has been a victim of digital rape, it is important to seek support from a trusted individual or professional to address the issue and seek justice.
