Are online privacy and safety mutually exclusive? The digitalization of society has brought forth both opportunities and risks for various social groups. This dichotomy is particularly striking when examining the rights of sex workers, including adult content creators, and the rights of victims, encompassing those subjected to intimate image-based abuse, child sexual exploitation, and trafficking. These sensitive issues are often treated as opposing priorities within distinct spheres, hindering productive discourse and collaborative action. ESWA aims to bridge the gap in policy development, addressing barriers such as stigma and legal issues. Join us to discuss collaboration opportunities amid European policy changes. We will explore the evolving digital landscape’s impact and advocate for rights-based policies. Let’s foster partnerships between sex worker-led groups, victim support organizations, policymakers, and digital rights advocates to advance rights and safety for all in the digital era.
