Better Internet for Kids

Youth participation in the digitalised world is nowadays a topic of high interest in the public sphere.

Slachtofferhulp Nederland has created the letter and posted it on their website. The letter can be sent to someone threatening to spread nude images without consent.

A letter-template is being shared, which can be adjusted to personal requirements.
