How revenge porn is being used as a weapon against women
Revenge porn, the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, disproportionately targets women, serving as a tool for humiliation and control. In Ghana, incidents like the April 2024 leak involving a female broadcaster underscore the societal tendency to blame victims rather than perpetrators. This digital form of gender-based violence reflects deep-rooted misogyny, with victims facing severe psychological impacts and societal stigmatization. Advocates call for comprehensive legal frameworks and societal change to protect victims and hold offenders accountable.
