Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of revictimization of women in the context of technology-based sexual violence, specifically revenge porn and blackmail. Women victims are forced to remain in a sexual relationship with the perpetrator-who is generally a partner or ex-partner-with the threat of spreading intimate footage to social media. This phenomenon causes serious psychological impacts, including depression, rejection from the social environment, failure to report to law enforcement, and victim blaming. This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the forms of revictimization experienced by women and the protection solutions that can be provided through the legal system and social approaches. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with three informants who are victims of revenge porn. The results showed that the media played a significant role in exacerbating victims' suffering through the dissemination of sexually exploitative material. This research also provides recommendations for human rights-based protection policies and strategies as well as the urgency of public education in combating digital sexual violence.

Abstract

This study examines the issue of women's revictimization in the realm of technology-facilitated sexual violence, focusing on revenge porn and blackmail. Female victims are coerced into maintaining a sexual relationship with the offender—often a current or former partner—under the threat of having intimate videos shared on social media. This situation leads to severe psychological effects, such as depression, social ostracism, reluctance to report to authorities, and victim blaming. The research seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the revictimization women face and the protective measures that can be implemented through legal frameworks and social strategies. Employing a descriptive qualitative research method, data was gathered through in-depth interviews with three victims of revenge porn. Findings indicate that media significantly worsens the victims' plight by spreading sexually exploitative content. The study also suggests human rights-based protection policies and strategies, emphasizing the need for public education to combat digital sexual violence.
