The Challenge

The Alecto Foundation

Online hate and violence against women and girls is spreading—deepfake abuse is up 400% from 2019 to 2024. As more people face sexual violence online, their offline lives shrink. There is little help in many parts of the world, but at Alecto, we are fighting back and using the very technology that causes harm for good.
