I don't create or forward violence!

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU RECEIVED A FORWARDED MESSAGE THAT CONTAINS PHOTOGRAPHS OR A VIDEO OF SOMEONE BEING VIOLATED OR HUMILIATED? WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

DO YOU PASS IT ON? OR DO YOU STOP ITS SPREAD?

DO YOU FORWARD? OR DO YOU DELETE?

The culture of sharing is not accompanied by a culture of respecting our right to privacy and safety. Boyfriends and girlfriends rarely make commitments and plans to delete private photographs of each other when they snap them. What happens when the relationship breaks down and one of them decides to post them online? In each act of creating without consent of all the parties involved, viewing and forwarding, they are continuing and replicating the violence.

Many people think its ok to film or photograph people without their consent or to forward material that is sexually explicit or that can tarnish the reputation of the people concerned. They argue that the damage is already done and that they are just doing what everyone else has done already by sharing it.

BUT THE VERY ACT OF FILMING OR PHOTOGRAPHING SOMEBODY WITHOUT HER OR HIS CONSENT, OR PASSING IT ON IS ANOTHER ACT OF VIOLENCE!

I DON’T CREATE OR FORWARD VIOLENCE.

MAKE THE COMMITMENT.

I AM FIRMLY AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

I WILL NOT CREATE OR FORWARD ANY FORM OF MESSAGE, VIDEO OR PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMEONE BEING VIOLATED OR HUMILIATED.

I WILL NOT CREATE OR FORWARD ANY FORM OF MESSAGE, VIDEO OR PHOTOGRAPH THAT VIOLATES ANOTHER PERSON’S RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

I WILL NOT CREATE OR FORWARD VIOLENCE.
