Please read these instructions before filling in the survey. PLEASE NOTE THIS SURVEY IS FOR INDIVIDUALS/ORGANISATIONS THAT HAVE COME ACROSS CASES OF REVENGE PORN IN INDIA. If you identify as a survivor/victim of revenge porn, please fill out this form instead: https://bit.ly/2LhQeqz.

1. This survey aims to find out how activists work on issues relating to gender based violence in online spaces (from any devices including, smartphones, desktop computers, tablets, etc.) in their work, activism and personal life, and what difficulties they face tackling this form of violence.
 
2. All responses are anonymous, confidential and for research purposes only. We ask about age, gender, sexual orientation and other demographics so that we know the profile of people who complete the survey. All information will be published only as consolidated and aggregated findings, no personally identifiable data will be shared without express and informed permission.
 
3. The survey will take approximately 35-40 minutes to complete. Most questions are close-ended and pertain to your experience, in general, not to specific cases. Please do not forget to click the button "Submit" when you finish the survey.
 
4. In order to obtain more reliable results, we ask you to please answer all questions. However, if any question makes you feel uncomfortable, you may skip it and go on to the next question. You can also stop answering questions and leave the page at any time.

5. For the purposes of this survey, image-based sexual abuse is used synonymously with revenge porn and is defined as "sexually explicit images or videos that are publicly shared online, without the consent of the pictured individual". Through this study, we are trying to ascertain how courts/prosecutors/police/lawyers in India apply the law in revenge porn cases. The aim of the study is to understand the challenges/gaps and to propose potential solutions.

6. We understand that the term "revenge porn" can minimise the harm done to victims and is not an accurate description of most incidents that occur. We have decided to use the term non consensual porn in this survey for ease of understanding but seek to hear from you below on how you would label this kind of behaviour.

7. We understand that some of the practitioners/activists may also be survivors of revenge porn. In case you are also a survivor, we would be grateful if you could take out some time to fill out a survey that we have created for survivors of revenge porn. The survey for survivors is available here: https://bit.ly/2LhQeqz
