What to do if you receive
someone’s intimate photos?

The more people share intimate pictures, the bigger the problem becomes.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, act reasonably and responsibly.

Don't
re-share it

Sharing intimate pictures without consent may cause severe mental trauma to victims. Moreover, if the victim is under 18, sharing this type of content is a crime.

Delete
the content

Even if you think that pictures cannot be leaked from your mobile, PC or other device, it's always better to delete them completely to reduce the risk of unintentional sharing.

Confront
the sender

The person who sent you the photo may not even realise the seriousness of the situation.

Tell
the victim

They may not yet be aware that their trust has been violated and that the photograph is spread across the internet. Inform them sensitively.

How to help the victim?

In this situation, it is important to assure the victim that they have your support,
and that even if things seem hopeless, there is always a solution.

Offer
your assistance

Many victims never ask for help themselves. Ask what you can do to help them. It is important that they know they're not alone in this.

Help
report the content

If you know where the pictures are being shared, help the victim report them to the relevant social platforms.

Report
a crime

It is a crime to share intimate pictures of young people under 18. Contact an adult that both you and the victim trust and report the incident to the police.

Recommend
psychological assistance

Try to sensitively encourage the victim to discuss the problem with a psychologist or other experts. For example, IPčko offers free, anonymous support.

Show #respect
and empathy

Victims don't deserve to be humiliated, shamed, blamed or downplayed. Only understanding and respect can help them.

Preventing the misuse of intimate pictures

If you decide to share your intimate pictures anyway, keep this in mind:

01.

Trust

Only share them with people whom you truly trust and who deserve your trust.
02.

Identifying features

When posing for pictures, make sure that your face and any identifying features, such as tattoos or scars, are not visible.
03.

Coercion

Never send intimate pictures to anyone who pressures you to do so. "Show me your love with nude pics" is neither the sign of love nor respect.
04.

Online safety

Use disappearing messages to send intimate pictures. Don't store them in the cloud, on a drive, or anywhere else where they are easy to find.

    How can we make schools a safer place?

    Peter Lengyel, an expert on violence prevention and author of school training programmes,
    will explain how to help students feel safe at school. He talks about why we can’t strictly separate
    the online world from the real one, and why it’s important to connect school and home experiences.
    He’ll also share how to respond to isolated incidents of aggression among students.

    Watch the campaign video

    In 2001, Richard Müller recorded the now legendary song Nahý II. At the time, no one could have guessed
    that the lyrics of this song would perfectly capture the online phenomenon of the 21st century,
    as well as the feelings of many young people.
