| Title | Addressing Online Violence Against Women in Argentina: A Human Rights Approach to Nonconsensual Pornography |
| Summary | This paper addresses how nonconsensual pornography should be tackled from a policy perspective. Defined as the online distribution of sexually explicit images without consent, nonconsensual pornography affects women disproportionally. Therefore, this problematic should be addressed as a women’s rights violation. The aim of this work is to contribute to the policy debate in Argentina on this form of online violence. Thus, this paper analyzes legislative initiatives on nonconsensual pornography using a human rights-based approach to policy analysis as a methodological framework and strategy. Within a human rights-based approach, policies on nonconsensual pornography in Argentina should have the fulfilment of human rights, with women’s rights at the center, as main outcome. Building on the Inter-American System mechanisms, this work proposes a model to address nonconsensual pornography that should include the following elements: Application of Human Rights Standards, Empowerment of Women, and Participation and Transparency. Following this model, this paper recommends Argentinian Government to address nonconsensual pornography using the current legal framework for women’s protection against all forms of violence; to explore co-regulatory measures in cooperation with companies such as codes of conduct; and the implementation of awareness raising measures to increase digital literacy using a gender perspective. |
