What are the Nordic countries doing to combat documented sexual exploitation online?
Young people in the Nordics are spending more and more time online, where they come into contact with pornography that contains violence and humiliation and contributes to the perpetuation of stereotypes about women’s and men’s bodies and sexuality.
This project will map and evaluate laws and other measures taken in the Nordic countries to counteract the societal harm of online pornography as part of the fight against men’s violence against women.
The survey will result in a report and associated dissemination activities.
With this, the applicants want to contribute to producing new and increased knowledge that can form the basis for developing policies and other initiatives in the Nordics and beyond.
In this way, the project may contribute to policy development that will ultimately help to make Nordic girls’ and boys’ relationships, well-being and everyday life online safer and healthier.
