Responding to Nonconsensual Intimate Image Distribution in Canada
Nonconsensual intimate image distribution is a criminal offence in Canada. While some have treated criminalization of this act as proof that this issue is now adequately addressed, many victims of this act are looking for more expedient and informal options for responding to this harm.
In this presentation, Dr. Alexa Dodge discusses some of the options and opportunities for responding to nonconsensual intimate image distribution outside of the criminal law.
