The French hotline Point de Contact, part of the French Safer Internet Centre, makes available to the public the comic strip "Manon sends a photo" (in French: "Manon envoie une photo").
This resource depicts the situation suffered by Manon: Manon sends a nude photo of herself to her boyfriend, Lucas, a common practice among young people today (known as sending nudes). One of Lucas's friends sees the photo, even though it wasn’t meant for him. Manon feels hurt and decides to end her relationship with Lucas, who then threatens to share the photo online if she leaves him. The comic raises awareness about the risks associated with sending nudes, such as sextortion and non-consensual dissemination of intimate images, and informs readers about the solutions available when the situation gets out of control.
This educational resource is intended for dissemination among young people, their families, professionals, and all members of the educational community. Raising awareness about cyberviolence is a crucial component in the fight against such harmful behaviour. Reporting these cyberviolences - whether as a victim or as a witness - is a fundamental civic duty to which everyone is called to contribute.
