The number of clients who experienced image-based sexual abuse, which refers to the non-consensual sharing of intimate or sexually explicit images or videos, rose from 27 to 46 from 2023 to 2024. SheCares@SCWO, which is run by SHE and the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations, offers a helpline for those seeking support, counselling and free legal guidance for victims.
Nine out of 10 of the centre’s clients are female. Male survivors seen at the centre largely face sextortion, which refers to threats to distribute explicit content unless a sum of money is paid. SHE launched its online guide on navigating online harms at the one-day symposium, which consisted of panel discussions on misogyny in online spaces, and workshops on supporting targets of online harms.
In November 2024, police investigated deepfake nude photos of Singapore Sports School students that were created and spread by other students. She said the Government has been working to enhance frameworks to better regulate the online space and protect victims from online abuse.
