In the final episode of this season of Survivor Stories, we explore the devastating impact of image-based abuse; from AI-generated deepfakes to the distribution of nonconsensual intimate imagery. Meet Noelle Martin, who at just 18 discovered manipulated images of herself online that derailed her law career and led her to become a powerful advocate for change. Then hear from Adam Dodge, founder of EndTAB, who explains the evolving landscape of technology-enabled abuse and the progress being made to combat it. Together, they reveal how digital violations can be as traumatic as physical violence, plus what’s being done to hold abusers and platforms accountable and change the culture at the root of the problem.
