The website WTFFF!? focuses on the stories of five young people who have experienced online sexual abuse. On the initiative of our tech for good venture Hack The Planet, Q42 built an interactive platform together with Fonds Slachtofferhulp (Victim Support Fund), design agency Morrow and affected young people to explain online sexual harassment, but also to offer professional help and the opportunity to share own experiences. The dark side of the web Besides many beautiful things, the web also has a dark side. Every year, more than 100,000 Dutch children and young people are victims of online sexual abuse. This concerns sextortion (extortion with sexually tinted images), grooming (online lure of children) or shame sexting (the unwanted distribution of sexually tinted images). Varieties and numbers are growing, and the threshold to ask for help is high. Victims struggle with guilt and shame and often don't dare to say anything. The fear that their nude images will resurface somewhere haunts them. Moreover, online sexual abuse is often accompanied by physical sexual violence. How do you depict sexual abuse? The concept of doing something about this arose with our tech for good venture Hack The Planet. As a digital product studio they have a lot of experience in creating innovative (storytelling) websites, such as The Garden of Earthly Delights. And in Uganda, Q42 brought together two rival tribes thanks to virtual reality. But creating a digital product around such a heavy and poignant subject was something Q42 had never done before. Because how do you depict sexual abuse? What is the message you want to convey? Credits: Agency: Q42 Design Agency: Morrow https://www.q42.nl/en
