In the United States, survivors must report sexual violence to law enforcement in order to press charges against their assailant. According to the Sex Workers Project, sex workers “are reluctant to go to the police because of potential arrest or further assault,” and this sentiment also applies to undocumented, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ survivors of sexual violence. Social media can be one of the only ways to have our voices heard, warn others about our perpetrators and receive accountability from the public. Sex education accounts, which often discuss consent and sex positivity, are another form of sexual violence activism that supports survivors and their experiences. Instagram’s new Community Guidelines, which will be instituted on December 20, 2020, threaten the autonomy of survivors and the ability to create sexual education content.
