Expert Warns of Rise in Digital Sexual Violence in Mexico

Mexico City – Olimpia Coral, a leading advocate for digital rights, recently appeared on the popular Mexican television program Sale el Sol TV to discuss the growing problem of digital sexual violence. Coral defines digital sexual violence as any act that harms a person's sexual privacy, including the unauthorized distribution of intimate images or videos. She explained, "It's like being raped without being touched. Every time they share it, they violate your body." Coral highlighted the role of artificial intelligence in creating deepfakes, which are manipulated images or videos that can be used to non-consensually portray individuals in sexual situations. She also discussed the commercialization of intimate content, where images are stolen and sold online without the consent of the person depicted. The video concludes with a call for increased awareness and stronger legal protections against digital sexual violence. Coral's expertise and the gravity of the issue make this a vital topic for public discussion and potential legislative action.
