Despite apparent political concern and action—often fuelled by high-profile cases and campaigns—legislative and institutional responses to image-based sexual abuse in the UK have been ad hoc, piecemeal and inconsistent. In practice, victim-survivors are being consistently failed: by the law, by the police and criminal justice system, by traditional and social media, website operators, and by their employers, universities and schools. Drawing on data from the first multi-jurisdictional study of the nature and harms of, and legal/policy responses to, image-based sexual abuse, this article argues for a new joined-up approach that supports victim-survivors of image-based sexual abuse to ‘reclaim control’. It argues for a comprehensive, multi-layered, multi-institutional and multi-agency response, led by a government- and industry-funded online or e-safety organisation, which not only recognises the diversity of victim-survivor experiences and the intersection of image-based sexual abuse with other forms of sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination, but which also enables victim-survivors to reclaim control within and beyond the criminal justice system.

尽管有明显的政治关注和行动（通常在备受关注的案件和运动的推动下），但英国对基于图像的性虐待的立法和机构反应是临时的，零碎的和不一致的。实际上，受害者幸存者一直在失败：法律，警察和刑事司法系统，传统和社交媒体，网站运营商及其雇主，大学和学校都在这样做。本文基于对基于图像的性虐待的性质和危害以及对图像的性虐待的法律/政策对策的首次跨辖区研究的数据，提出了一种新的联合方法，以支持基于图像的性虐待的幸存者滥用“回收控制权”。它主张采取全面，多层，多机构和多机构的应对措施，
