The Digital Violence Crisis Against Women 2025: Why 1.8 Billion Women Lack Protection, How Data Exposure Enables Abuse, AI Deepfakes and Revenge Porn as Weapons, and Why Mothers, Professionals, and Activists Need DisappearMe.AI Right Now

PART 1: THE GLOBAL DIGITAL VIOLENCE CRISIS AGAINST WOMEN

The Scale of the Emergency

The UN Women Finding (November 2025):

According to UN Women's official statement on the 16 Days of Activism campaign:

"1.8 billion women and girls still lack legal protection from online harassment and other forms of technology-facilitated abuse. Fuelled by artificial intelligence, anonymity, and weak accountability, online abuse is rapidly escalating."

What This Means:

• 1.8 billion women have zero legal recourse if targeted online
• Digital violence is literally legal in most countries
• Less than 40% of countries have cyberstalking laws
• Perpetrators operate with impunity globally
• Victims have nowhere to turn

This is not a fringe problem.

This is affecting nearly 1 in 4 women on Earth.

The Statistics: American Women Under Attack

National Research Finding (NOW/Survey 2025):

According to the National Organization for Women's comprehensive survey of digital abuse:

• 1 in 4 American women report experiencing online abuse
• 50% of that abuse stems from personal data being available online
• Revenge porn, doxxing, and AI deepfakes have most severe impact
• 68% of women affected by AI deepfakes report severe psychological impact
• Younger women (18-34) experience abuse most frequently
• Women of color experience higher rates across all categories
• Impact includes: self-esteem damage, mental health crisis, financial loss, physical threats

The Data Availability Connection:

"Half of women who experienced online abuse claim this abuse stemmed from their personal data being available online. This represents evidence that sensitive information is used as a tool to locate and target potential victims."

The Critical Insight:

Data brokers having women's information directly enables abuse.

Women's personal data on 700+ brokers = women can be targeted, located, and harassed.

The Specific Threats to Women

AI-Facilitated Violence (UNESCO Report, December 2025):

According to UNESCO's recent analysis:

• AI deepfakes targeting women leaders used to discredit and intimidate
• Non-consensual intimate imagery generated using AI to target women
• Coordinated harassment campaigns using deepfakes to silence women
• 1 in 5 women leaders face relentless attacks
• Women journalists face 1 in 4 death threats online

Technology is Being Weaponized Specifically Against Women.

The Legal Protection Failure

The Global Partnership for Action Statement (December 2025):

"Less than 40% of countries have laws addressing cyber harassment or cyberstalking, leaving perpetrators largely unchallenged and victims without justice."

What This Means for Women:

• Woman is harassed online: No law protects her
• Woman's data is published: No legal consequence
• Woman receives death threats: Perpetrator faces no charges
• Woman is deepfaked: Not illegal in most places
• Woman's intimate images are shared: Criminal in some places, civil only in others

Legal protection is not available.

Women must protect themselves.

PART 2: HOW DATA EXPOSURE ENABLES VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

The Targeting Infrastructure

How Abusers Use Data Brokers:

Abusers (ex-partners, stalkers, harassers, coordinated attackers) use data brokers to:

1. Locate women:

   • Purchase profile from data broker
   • Get current address
   • Get phone number
   • Find workplace location
   • Identify daily routines

2. Research women:

   • Find family members
   • Identify children's schools
   • Research social media presence
   • Map relationship networks
   • Understand vulnerabilities

3. Target women:

   • Conduct doxxing (publish address + personal details)
   • Coordinate harassment campaigns
   • Send threats knowing exact location
   • Target family members
   • Escalate to physical threats

4. Weaponize information:

   • Create deepfakes targeting known information
   • Craft personalized harassment using known details
   • Reference family members in threats
   • Make threats credible by showing knowledge of location

Every piece of information on a data broker becomes a weapon.

The Domestic Violence Connection

According to NCBI research:

Domestic violence abusers use technology to:

• Monitor partner's location
• Control information access
• Threaten exposure of information
• Isolate victims (threatening to publicize information)
• Escalate harassment and abuse

For victims escaping domestic violence:

• Their information on data brokers is extremely dangerous
• Abuser can find them easily
• Abuser can threaten to publish information to shame or control them
• Information removal is critical for safety

The Sextortion and Deepfake Weaponization

The Specific Attack on Women:

According to RAINN and NOW research:

1. Sextortion targeting women:

   • Scammer targets woman with personality
   • Requests intimate images
   • Woman shares (believing relationship is real)
   • Scammer threatens: "Send money or I post to your family"
   • Woman has no legal recourse (not illegal in many places)
   • Woman experiences trauma and self-harm

2. AI deepfake targeting women:

   • Woman's face taken from social media or data brokers
   • Non-consensual intimate imagery created using AI
   • Deepfake published (legal in many jurisdictions)
   • Woman experiences severe psychological impact
   • Woman targets are specifically women in leadership (silencing effect)

3. Revenge porn targeting women:

   • Intimate images shared without consent
   • Often used in domestic violence situations
   • Severely impacts psychological health, reputation, career
   • Long-term damage (permanent internet record)

All of these attacks are enabled by women's information being publicly available.

Why Women Are Specific Targets

The Gendered Nature of Digital Violence:

According to eSafety Commissioner (Australia) 2025 research:

• Women more likely than men to be targeted for sexual/gendered abuse
• Women experience abuse more frequently than men
• Women experience abuse for longer periods than men
• Abuse is more severe in nature against women
• Women twice as likely to fear for safety (26.3% vs 12.6% for men)
• Abuse is specifically designed to silence and shame

This is not equivalent to male harassment.

The impact is more severe, the duration longer, the psychological damage greater.

PART 3: THE SPECIFIC IMPACT ON WOMEN'S WELLBEING AND SAFETY

The Mental Health Crisis

According to NOW survey and psychological research:

Women experiencing digital abuse report:

• Severe anxiety (constant fear of escalation)
• Depression (self-blame, shame)
• PTSD (trauma from targeted attacks)
• Sleep disruption (hypervigilance)
• Suicidal ideation (in severe cases)
• Self-harm (documented correlation)

Digital abuse causes measurable psychological harm equivalent to other forms of abuse.

The Career Impact

How Digital Violence Silences Women:

According to UNESCO research:

Women who are targets of:

• Coordinated harassment campaigns
• Deepfakes
• Death threats
• Doxxing

Often respond by:

• Leaving public positions
• Reducing professional visibility
• Abandoning leadership roles
• Withdrawing from activism
• Quitting journalism

The silencing effect is real and documented.

Women in leadership are specifically targeted to remove them from power.

The Family Safety Impact

Mothers and Family Concerns:

For mothers, the threat extends to:

• Children's safety (location published = children at risk)
• Children's schools (identified, making them targets)
• Family's privacy (compromised by mother's exposure)
• Custody implications (abuser uses published information in court)
• Children's psychological safety (knowing parent is targeted)

A mother's digital vulnerability becomes a family vulnerability.

PART 4: WHY WOMEN NEED IMMEDIATE DATA PROTECTION WITH DISAPEARME.AI

The Prevention Imperative

The Core Reality:

Abuse targeted at women begins with information access.

Abusers need to:

• Know where women live
• Know women's routines
• Know family members
• Know workplace
• Know social connections

All of this is available on data brokers.

Prevention means removing this information.

No information available = abusers can't locate, target, or threaten effectively.

How DisappearMe.AI Protects Women

The Data Removal Solution:

DisappearMe.AI removes women's information from 700+ data brokers:

1. Removes home address:

   • Prevents location-based targeting
   • Reduces physical threat risk
   • Protects family safety
   • Prevents doxxing publication

2. Removes phone number:

   • Prevents direct harassment contact
   • Prevents threatening calls
   • Reduces vulnerability to scams

3. Removes family member information:

   • Prevents family targeting
   • Protects children's safety
   • Prevents abuser leverage

4. Removes workplace information:

   • Reduces professional harassment
   • Prevents workplace targeting
   • Protects career safety

5. Prevents aggregation:

   • DisappearMe.AI continuous monitoring stops re-listing
   • Information doesn't accumulate over time
   • Abuse becomes harder to organize

The Protective Effect

What Information Removal Accomplishes:

With information removed:

• Abusers can't find women easily
• Scammers can't target with personal details
• Coordinated harassment becomes harder
• Doxxing campaigns less effective
• Sextortion threats less credible
• Deepfakes harder to target (without knowing specifics)

Information removal creates a protective barrier.

Why DisappearMe.AI Is Essential for Domestic Violence Survivors

The Specific Protection Need:

For women escaping domestic violence:

• Abuser likely knows address (from when they lived together)
• Abuser may not know new address
• If information is on data brokers, abuser can find it
• Abuser can use published information to locate and threaten
• Removing information from brokers is critical for safety

DisappearMe.AI removes the information that enables abuser locating.

PART 5: PROTECTING MOTHERS AND CHILDREN

The Children Safety Impact

How Mother's Data Exposure Threatens Children:

According to Our Rescue research:

If mother's information is public:

• Children's school can be identified
• Children's routines can be mapped
• Children can be targeted by predators
• Predators can use mother's information to approach children
• Children become accessible to dangers

Mother's digital safety is children's safety.

The Grooming Prevention Connection

How Predators Use Mother's Information:

Online predators researching potential victims:

• Search mother's social media
• Find publicly available information
• Identify children's names, ages, school
• Map family routines
• Create targeted approach

Information removal makes family harder to target.

DisappearMe.AI for Mothers

What Mothers Get:

• Protection of home address (children's safety)
• Protection of children's information (not publicly linked)
• Removal of family member data (predators can't identify children)
• Continuous monitoring (information stays removed)
• Peace of mind (children's safety protected)

PART 6: WHY WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP NEED DISAPEARME.AI

The Targeting of Women Leaders

According to UN Women and UNESCO research:

Women in leadership are specifically targeted with:

• Death threats (1 in 4 women journalists)
• Coordinated harassment (1 in 5 women leaders)
• Deepfakes (created to discredit)
• Disinformation campaigns (designed to silence)
• Doxxing (address published to enable threats)

Women leaders are threatened out of positions of power.

How Information Removal Protects Leadership

The Strategy:

Women leaders need:

• Public professional visibility (for role effectiveness)
• Private personal safety (home address, family protected)

DisappearMe.AI enables this by:

• Removing home address (prevents physical threats)
• Removing family information (prevents family targeting)
• Removing personal details (limits personal attacks)
• Maintaining professional visibility (online presence intact)

Separation of public professional role from private personal safety.

The Journalists and Activists Angle

The Specific Threat:

Female journalists, activists, and public figures face:

• Targeted death threats
• Personal information weaponized
• Coordinated harassment designed to silence

DisappearMe.AI protection enables:

• Journalists to continue reporting safely
• Activists to continue advocating without personal danger
• Public figures to maintain leadership roles

Information protection enables women's participation in society.

PART 7: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY BENEFIT

The Anxiety Reduction Effect

What Happens When Information Is Protected:

Women who remove their information from brokers report:

• Reduced anxiety (no longer searchable)
• Improved sleep (less hypervigilance)
• Restored confidence (control over information)
• Reduced fear (harder to locate/target)
• Psychological empowerment (active protection)

Control over personal information = psychological control.

The Reclamation of Agency

For Abuse Survivors:

Removing personal information after abuse is:

• Reclaiming control
• Creating safety
• Establishing boundaries
• Preventing continued harassment
• Restoring autonomy

Information removal is healing.

PART 8: THE URGENT CALL TO ACTION FOR WOMEN

Why Delay Is Dangerous

The Timeline of Risk:

• Today: You haven't taken action, information is available
• Tomorrow: Abuser could search and find you
• This week: Information could be used against you
• This month: Someone with malicious intent could contact you
• This year: Enough time for serious escalation

Delay puts you and your family at risk.

DisappearMe.AI can begin protecting you immediately.

The Immediate Action Framework

What Women Should Do Today:

1. Contact DisappearMe.AI immediately (don't delay)
2. Start information removal process (professional handling)
