The general objective was to prevent and, where already present, reduce the phenomenon of revenge porn among adolescents by providing methodological tools and functional skills to the professions that deal with the education, training and well-being of children. The overall objective has been achieved through: 1. promoting knowledge of the phenomenon of revenge porn, in particular by raising awareness of its causes and consequences, in order to deepen the potential and risks of the network by the professions dealing with education and adolescent training, increasing the quality of their skills and digital innovation. 2. the promotion of techniques and tools in line with European good practices to train emotional intelligence among children, promoting appropriate sex education and deepening the theme of gender equality in order to reflect on the concept of respect for oneself and for others. By achieving this goal, it has been possible to create and implement effective, efficient strategies, but at the same time with a European dimension. 3. the availability of effective tools and skills to identify human and digital resources that have served as reference points for victims of revenge porn.
Revenge porn consists in sharing and digital dissemination of movies, videos and images with a sexual background without the consent of the person portrayed. It is becoming increasingly popular, especially among teenagers, causing important consequences at work, social but above all psychological. It is characterized as a phenomenon digital, often difficult to contrast due to the powerful ability to spread images and videos on various types of social, especially among teens who spend many hours a day on the internet, especially in this historical period in which the restrictions prevent face-to-face relations, favoring rather rather strong exchange and sharing of messages and multimedia movies. A recent US study conducted by the American Psychological Association in 2019 highlighted how people affected by revenge porn are almost 1 of 10, with even higher percentages in the case of minors. In most cases, then, there is a real awareness of the phenomenon, nor of the serious consequences that can result. "Fun", "blackmail" and "revenge" are some of the reasons used to explain the action of revenge porn.
