Title: | ‘Revenge porn’ and women empowerment issues: implications for human rights and social work practice in Zimbabwe | Authors: | Mafa, Itai Kang’ethe, Simon Chikadzi, Victor |
Keywords: | Revenge porn Human rights Social media Policy Zimbabwe |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. | Series/Report no.: | Journal of Human Rights and Social Work;Vol.5 : p. 118–128 | Abstract: | Although the issue of revenge porn dates back before the popularization of social media, concerns over its gender bias and other adverse concomitant ramifications have recently attracted attention from a human rights perspective. While it has been widely acknowledged that women subjugation through revenge porn is a reality in Zimbabwe, this has not been met with the radical policy reformations that the challenge demands. Using a qualitative approach, this paper explored the dynamics surrounding revenge porn as a phenomenon thwarting the efforts of women-NGOs in their fight against gender inequality and women exclusion. The paper underscores the urgent need to enact laws that would provide a clear legal and policy framework for dealing with revenge porn in Zimbabwe. | URI: | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41134-020-00118-0 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/4178 |
