Abstract or Description

This study examined Image-Based Sexual Abuse (IBSA) victimisation in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand (n = 6,109). Findings showed that 37.7% (n=2,306) of respondents had at least one IBSA victimisation experience since age 16. Logistic regression analyses further identified that demographic characteristics (age, sexuality, disability/assistance), attitudes towards IBSA, and experiential variables (including online behaviours) were each predictors of IBSA victimisation. Though gender did not explain overall extent, the relational contexts and impacts of IBSA remained gendered in particular ways. Implications of the study are discussed with respect to conceptualising gendered violence and future research.
