Sextortion: Break the Silence

For young people aged 13 – 15, this educational video explores sextortion, a form of image-based abuse where someone threatens to use your images against you if you don’t give in to their demands. Through the stories of three teenagers, we recognise how easily sextortion unfolds, how difficult it is to know how to react, and how reporting can help a victim regain control.
