In November 2020, an acquaintance knocked on Helen’s door to tell her he had seen explicit photos of her on a porn site. Helen had never shared intimate photos. She had been deep-faked. Her face had been digitally edited onto images of women in sexually explicit and violent scenes. She called the police to report the crime, but they told her there was nothing they could do, no crime had been committed. It is not illegal to make deep-fake images. Helen’s mental health deteriorated as she began to live out these scenes through nightmares. To regain control, Helen chose to speak out about her experiences. As she confronts her unresolved feelings about who created these images and why, Helen challenges the culture that treats women’s appearance and image as public property while the perpetrators remain anonymous. Helen is one of many women who have shared their experience with this increasingly common form of image-based sexual abuse. She and others are part of a campaign calling for real and meaningful online safety protections for women and girls and for changes to the law and conversation around deepfakes and image-based abuse.
