About this episode

From “deepfakes” to “stealth filming”, women around the world are having their image stolen and shared online. Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to two women tackling this problem.

Uma Subramanian works for an Indian helpline called RATI, which offers help for women whose image has been used.

Kirana Ayuningtyas had her image digitally manipulated and shared online. She uses her social media profile, @k.for.kirana, to help other women in Indonesia.

Warning: this programme contains details that some listeners may find disturbing.

Producers: Rebecca Moore and Hannah Sander
