SUMMARY:Pillow Talks: Sextortion\, disability and navigating online relationships
DESCRIPTION:When online interactions are often used to threaten or exploit someone\, are disabled people being included in online safety conversations? \n\n\n\nFor this edition of Pillow Talks\, we’re bringing together perspectives (both in person and online) from disability\, cyber safety\, sex and relationships education and gender-based violence to explore sextortion\, online relationships and the support available when things go wrong. \nSextortion is a form of blackmail or coercion involving sexual or intimate material. Someone may threaten to share images\, videos or information unless the person gives them money\, sends more images\, agrees to sexual activity or meets another demand. \nIt can happen in lots of different ways. Sometimes it begins through dating apps\, social media\, messaging or online relationships. In other cases\, intimate material may be stolen\, obtained through deception or coercion\, recorded without consent\, or even fabricated. \nAs more of our relationships and social lives take place online\, understanding these risks matters. But conversations about online safety can also leave disabled people out\, focus too heavily on vulnerability\, or treat avoiding sex and relationships as the solution. \nThis discussion will look at sextortion through a wider lens: how disabled people navigate relationships online\, what accessible sex and relationships education can do to support people\, why recognising coercion is not always straightforward\, and what happens when someone tries to ask for help. \nThe conversation will also explore consent in online spaces: what consent means when sharing intimate images or information\, how coercion can undermine it\, and why accessible education about digital boundaries and sexual autonomy matters. \nWho is this event for?\nThis event is open to adults aged 18+. Disabled and neurodivergent people are particularly welcome as well as their carers and loved ones. \nPlease be aware that the discussion will include references to sexual coercion\, intimate-image abuse\, blackmail\, exploitation and online abuse. You are welcome to step out at any point if you need to. \nAccessibility\nProject Ability is an accessible venue\, and we want the event to be as welcoming and accessible as possible. \nIf there is anything we can do to support you to attend or take part\, please let us know when booking. If you need a BSL interpreter for this session\, please do send us an email to contact@pillowtalk.scot. \nThe event will also be livestreamed on YouTube. The link to access the event will be emailed on the day.
