Doxxing is the non-consensual sharing of private or identifying information about a particular individual or group of individuals online with the intent to cause harm. Doxxing can be an act of anti-LGBT+ hate, and it can also be a form of domestic abuse where a current or ex-partner or family member uses doxxing to take power and control. Here are some examples of doxxing and how it can be used as a form of domestic abuse: Posting pre-transition photos of someone online with other personal details like their place of work, phone number, or address; Threatening to 'out' someone using nude or intimate images or other personal details, which could damage relationships with their family, community, education, and employment; Threatening to share private information online to encourage online hate against someone; ‘Outing' someone online to enable more abuse from other perpetrators; Posting someone's home address online to encourage neighbours or local people to engage in both online and offline anti-LGBT+ hate. These are just a few examples, not a full list.

We also want to acknowledge how someone's HIV status can be used against them. If a partner, ex or family member threatens to disclose your HIV status or uses it to control your life, that is abuse. If you've experienced this, we're here to help.

LGBT+ people are often excluded from traditional depictions of gender-based violence and conversations around tech-facilitated abuse. Throughout #16Days, we'll be sharing information about LGBT+ experiences of digital violence and how we all have a role to play in creating safe online spaces.

We're thinking of everyone grieving today, and of those who live with the fear of abuse or violence because of their trans+ identity.

If you're trans+ and are worried about or have experienced abuse or violence, please know we're here for you.
