Description

Tackling the consumption of sexual violence on screen. The explosion of image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) and child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) online is causing significant harm and presenting regulatory quandaries. Australia would be better prepared to tackle this escalating issue equipped with deep understanding of how the intersection of sexual violence and screen media has been conceptualised and regulated in other media (film, television and video games) and translated to online content. This research will advance our ability to prevent IBSA and CSEM consumption by investigating institutional discourses across media regulators (in Australia and overseas) and enhancing the cross-national and cross-sectoral dialogue on how to best address the consumption of sexual violence on screen..
