"For over ten years, I was virtually abused by my own husband. He offered me to other men for sex. For years, I searched for the perpetrator, even in a documentary. I would never have suspected my husband."
"Unfortunately, victims are currently not adequately protected against digital abuse. My case illustrates quite well the extreme extent to which digital violence can escalate."
Collien Fernandes has become a focal point in Germany for online abuse after fake pornographic images of her were spread. Demonstrations have erupted nationwide, organized by activists like Vulver, who emphasize the need for better legal protections for women against digital violence. The justice ministry is expediting legislation to address AI-generated deepfakes. Fernandes accuses her ex-husband of orchestrating the abuse, stating she felt victimized for over a decade. Her case exemplifies the severe consequences of digital violence and the inadequacies in current protections for victims.
