This informational handout provides information about Intimate Images and highlights what Non-consensual Intimate Images is and what it is not.

• VIDEO: Tech Talk: Image-based Sexual Abuse

  In this 20-minute discussion, we discuss how NCII is used as a tool in patterns of intimate partner violence to cause harm to survivors. We will discuss the impact that this issue has on the life of survivors and how they can seek support online and offline. Tips and techniques will also be provided for advocates to support survivors who are experiencing NCII.
