Conclusions and the Future
摘要
This chapter concludes the book by synthesizing a decade of research, frontline practice, and policy engagement through the lens of the UK’s Revenge Porn Helpline (RPH), positioning intimate image abuse (IIA) as a pervasive, gendered, and systemic digital harm. It reflects on the evolution of IIA from a misunderstood phenomenon to a global human rights concern, highlighting the RPH’s pivotal role in driving legal reform, victim support, and technological innovation. The chapter outlines key findings from previous chapters, emphasizing the need for multilayered responses across legal, cultural, institutional, and technological systems. It proposes ambitious international recommendations, including a Five Eyes NCII Clearing Centre, mandated platform integration with StopNCII.org, legal harmonization through cybercrime treaties, and the development of a victim-led self-certification system. Ultimately, the chapter argues that a coordinated, survivor-centred, and globally integrated approach is essential to achieving justice, prevention, and dignity in the digital age.
