|---|---|---|
| Victim Services: Provided support, referrals, and information to victims of nonconsensual pornography (NCP; the distribution of sexually graphic images of individuals without consent) and online harassment through our phone helpline, email support services, and educational resources posted on our website. Assisted an average of 100 victims per month, amounting to about 1,200 victims for the year. | $0 | $2,721 |
| Public Education & Awareness: Raised awareness and educated the public on the issue of NCP through sharing information via our website and social media accounts, giving presentations to universities and conferences, contributing to documentaries, and performing interviews and publishing op-eds for media outlets such as The Huffington Post, The Guardian, CNN, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Fusion. Number of persons benefited is difficult to compute due to the difficulty of estimating how many people read the articles we write or are interviewed for. However, we can report that there were 132 articles either written by or featuring CCRI staff and our board members gave a total of 34 presentations about NCP in 2015. | $0 | $4,572 |
| Tech Outreach & Consulting: CCRI works closely with tech industry leaders such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google regarding their policies against online harassment and NCP. CCRI encourages these companies to develop design-based solutions to NCP and other forms of online abuse. | $0 | $1,587 |
| Legislative Support & Legal Research: In order to prevent NCP from happening to others in the future, CCRI supports the implementation of strong, finely-tailored laws against NCP that both protect victims and respect freedom of speech. CCRI provides consultative research support to legislators and their staff while they are drafting legislation. CCRI's coverage in the media drives legislators to reach out to CCRI for input on their bills. Other times, constituents who have read our Educate Lawmakers page urge their legislators to pass a law against NCP in their state, who then reach out to CCRI for input on legislative drafts. This demand-driven approach ensures that lawmakers know that a NCP law matters to their voters. | $0 | $620 |
