Restoration Beyond Deletion

If you have been targeted by digital sexual violence, please remember: it is not your fault. We provide a clear path to safety, combining global standards with our specialized technical intervention.

​

1. Immediate Steps for Your Safety (Global Standards)

• Contact Law Enforcement: Report the incident to your local police or national cybercrime unit immediately. Official reports are essential for legal protection and perpetrator accountability. In the U.S., dial 911; in South Korea, dial 112/182.

• Seek Support Hotlines: Reach out to specialized survivor support services in your country. These organizations provide 24/7 crisis counseling and guidance on your legal rights. (e.g., 1366 in South Korea, or your local gender-based violence hotline).

• Secure Evidence: Do not delete any messages, links, or images. Take screenshots that include URLs and timestamps, as these are critical for the removal process and legal action.

• Report to Platforms: Use the reporting tools on social media and hosting sites. While administrative, this is the first step in notifying service providers of illegal content.

​

2. How Digital Human Rights Intervenes (Our Role)

While official procedures are vital, the speed of digital distribution often outpaces administrative action. Digital Human Rights acts as a technical task force to bridge this gap.

• Tracking the Unseen: We utilize advanced monitoring tools to locate unauthorized content across global servers and anonymous communities that standard search engines cannot reach.

• Direct Technical Removal: We don't just send reports. By leveraging our established cooperation channels with global tech companies and international NGOs, we take direct action to ensure illegal content is physically removed from the web.

• Empowered Recovery: Deleting the video is only the beginning. We provide 'Digital Self-Defense' training to prevent future harm and connect you with professional trauma therapy to help you reclaim your daily life.
