Click, Share, Humiliate, Destroy ("Klik, deel, verneder, verwoest")

"Click, Share, Humiliate, Destroy" is a book on online sexual violence against girls and women.

The book confronts online sexual violence from every angle. It was sparked by the "banga lists" (or "slut-shaming lists") incident in the Netherlands - lists that rated female students on their sexual performance and appearance, often with their personal information provided. 

Written by lawyer and former politician Ina Brouwer, with contributions and interviews by Offlimits, the book deals with the impact of bang lists, the problems of online platforms such as Telegram and the legislation surrounding online sexual violence against girls and women. It makes it painfully clear that misogyny and sexism are still deeply embedded in our society, and that the online world, with all its spread and lack of control, makes the humiliation even greater and more devastating than before. The book puts online sexual violence in historical perspective, makes connections, collects facts and stories from victims and care providers, perpetrators, and makes recommendations on how we can stop and reverse this epidemic of online sexual violence. 

As the EU moves forward with several pieces of new legislation and policy, this book is a crucial reminder that laws alone are not enough. Without public outrage, sustained pressure, and cultural change, harmful practices will continue. Klik, deel, verneder, verwoest is both a wake-up call and a call to action: we must not look away, but keep raising our voices until online sexual violence is no longer tolerated.
