The campaign ‘EraseTheShame’ has been one initiative created since December 2024 to address cybercrime against women that offers a hopeful instance of public mobilisation in this context. Introduced to address the growing trend of the viral spread of sexually explicit content online, particularly involving college students. The campaign demands include: Immediate removal of all non-consensual and violent videos from the internet and Stricter action by Odisha’s cybercrime department to investigate and prosecute digital violence to prevent future victim shaming.
This petition is hosted on change.org platform & slowly gaining traction, calling on the Home Department to take swift, transparent, and victim-centred action. We hope with further citizen-led discussions, this campaign’s demands are heard & met by the State.
