The potential victim of hævnporno: Now, she shares her story

In 2018 participated Zara McDermott in the british version of 'Love Island'. But what should have been her life's adventures and quickly developed into a nightmare.

while she was locked inside the villa, began nude pictures of her circulating on the app Whatsapp, and the today 23-year-old potential had to demonstrate that she was subjected to hævnporno.

Then she told about the experience, but soon she takes a deep breath and tells the full story in order to focus on a topic that has put her deep in my heart.

On Instagram she says so, she is gone, along with a camera crew from the BBC, to put the focus on the impact of hævnporno.

'As some of you may be aware, I have been the victim of an image-based sexual assault, which is also known as hævnporno. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's basically when someone shares intimate images or videos of another person without that person's permission', she writes on Instagram, where she continues:

'I'm really humbled and proud to announce that the BBC and I am currently doing a documentary, so I can share my story. My main objective is to create awareness about the problem and be a voice for those who have suffered in silence – and to help create a change'.
