Silvia Semenzin
Silvia Semenzin is a 33-year-old sociologist from Montebelluna, Italy, known for her advocacy against 'revenge porn' and her role as a technical advisor in the creation of Italy's laws addressing this issue. Frustrated by the slow response to online abuse, she highlighted the existence of the notorious website Phica.net, which published non-consensual images, as a pressing example of the need for legal protection. After witnessing the shortcomings of the legislation and the alarming growth of such sites, Semenzin relocated to Spain to continue her academic work and collaborate with the European Commission on digital rights and gender issues. Her research focuses on the intersection of technology, gender rights, and social-emotional education, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to combat online violence.
