Spearheading the passage of the ​​Personal Sexual Private Image Infringement Prevention Act


【GOH’s Vision】

In recent years, due to the development of digital technology, there have been increasing cases of leaks of private sexual images. In our work, the Garden of Hope has found that victims of these leaks experience immense physical and mental anxiety. Even if such images are not in circulation, just knowing that someone else possesses them makes victims worry that they may one day be uploaded to the internet. Those whose images get circulated can receive an enormous amount of harassment.

The victims’ immediate concern is usually getting the images back and preventing their further distribution. We need new legislative support that helps victims end the circulation of such images and to work with online platforms to take them down. In short, more support is needed for victims worried about the spread of their private sexual images.
