If someone is harassing you online, threatening to leak intimate photos, or circulating AI generated nudes using your pictures, treat it as a crime immediately. This is practical advice (credits to - u/Aggressive_Sugar201), not theory.

1. Report it on the official Government of India Cyber Crime Portal: [https://cybercrime.gov.in/Webform/Index.aspx\](https://cybercrime.gov.in/Webform/Index.aspx). Choose the appropriate category, especially Women/Child related crime if it involves sexual content. Upload all evidence. Once the complaint is submitted, download or screenshot the acknowledgement.

2. Screenshot EVERYTHING with visible timestamps. Profile page, username, user ID, phone number, email, threats, payment demands, morphed images, links, voice notes. Screen record the chat scrolling so deleted messages cannot be denied later. Back up the files in multiple places.

3. Do not send money. Do not send more images. Do not negotiate. Do not respond emotionally. Keep communication minimal and factual if you respond at all.

4. Register an FIR. You can do this online or at your local police station. Do not let anyone dismiss it as “just online.” Threatening to leak images, circulating morphed or AI generated nudes, blackmail and criminal intimidation are offences under Indian law. Get the FIR number and keep it safely.

5. Once a complaint or FIR is registered, you can send a simple message stating that a complaint has been filed and include the reference or FIR number. No threats, no arguments, just a factual statement. Legal escalation often stops further harassment.

6. Do your own digital digging quietly. Reverse image search the display picture. Search the username across platforms. Check LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, gaming forums and other sites. Many harassers reuse handles or photos. If you identify them, document that evidence. Anonymity is often their only leverage.

7. Report the account on every platform where the harassment is happening. Most platforms have policies against non consensual intimate images and deepfake content. Submit reports with proof of identity if required.

8. Inform someone you trust. Do not handle it alone. Having support also strengthens your case if the situation escalates.

Threatening to leak intimate content, creating AI morphed nudes, and blackmailing are crimes in India. Act quickly, document properly, escalate legally, and do not cooperate with the person harassing you.

Add anything you feel may help more women/people!

I saw a post a while back, now removed by mods. It talked about how the UK grooming gangs are taught that white women are lollipop because they don't cover themselves and like an uncovered lollipop they can be used. Okay this analogy is not from the right/feminist source. But what do you have to say about crimes that are constantly happening and where hundreds of men have been convicted and sentenced by courts?

The source can be far right or far left. Rather than condemning the acts and discussing the underlying causes, we are condemning the source. Very feminist of us. Kudos. 👏🏻

For those acting like this issue isn't real?

1. The UK's Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) conducted a major investigation into child sexual exploitation by organised networks and found serious failures by authorities to protect victims.

2. There have been numerous convictions connected to grooming gang cases in places such as Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Newcastle, Telford and elsewhere.

3. The Rotherham inquiry estimated that around 1,400 children were sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013 by men of Pakistani origin.

4. The UK Government's National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (2025) confirmed the existence of organised group-based child sexual exploitation and examined patterns, offender characteristics and institutional failures.

5. Police forces across the UK continue to investigate historical and ongoing child sexual exploitation cases, leading to further arrests and convictions.



You don't have to agree on every explanation, motive, cultural factor, or policy response. But if hundreds of people have been convicted, public inquiries have been conducted, victims have testified, and courts have handed down sentences, why is the first instinct to attack the source instead of condemning the crimes?

I just read a post by u/kungfuninjaa here on about how women leaders in politics are often treated as exceptions rather than something normal, and it got me thinking about something related.

one thing I've noticed is that when politics comes up in conversations, a lot of women I know will say they're not interested in politics or don't follow it much, obviously this isn't true for all women, but i've noticed it often enough to wonder why.

Politics affects pretty much every aspect of our lives, so I'd expect everyone to have at least some interest in it. At the same time, i realize there might be reasons im not seeing. maybe politics feels unwelcoming, maybe people are turned off by how toxic political discussions can get, or maybe "not interested in politics" means something different than I think it does.

For the women here - if you've ever said you're not interested in politics, what did you mean by that? Is it genuinely a lack of interest, frustration with political discourse, or something else?

we all need to really start participating in politics and understanding it.
