Revenge Porn : lettura di genere di una fattispecie (incompresa)

This paper discusses the criminal offense of non-consensual dissemination of sexually explicit images and videos under Article 612-ter of the Italian Criminal Code as a form of gender-based violence. According to this assumption, a gender approach is crucial for both a socio-logical understanding of the phenomenon and prevention purposes. After an in-depth review of the relevant sociological, IT and legal literature, as well as of the Italian law and case-law, the essay tries to suggest a series of preventive measures and, additionally, support measures for the offended parties.
