ABOUT
The project is funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship. We’re a small team of interdisciplinary feminist researchers from the Social and Global Studies Centre at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Our vision is to translate research into practical outcomes and benefits, including more robust and effective legal, policy, educational and corporate responses to image-based abuse. Our feminist ethics of care approach is victim-survivor-centric, trauma-aware and intersectionality-focused.
