The rise of AI-generated pornographic images is fuelling a new wave of online gender-based violence (OGBV), targeting women and minors with ease.
Recently, X user Elyanasparks (@elybaeraq) publicly shared her experience of filing a police report against a perpetrator who was selling AI-generated pornographic images of her. Her post quickly went viral, sparking considerable engagement and prompting other women to come forward with similar experiences in digital exploitation. This growing crisis demands urgent legal action, enforcement of the law, and better protection for survivors.
