Svalbard – Revenge Porn lyrics

They assume it’s your fault for being “a slut”
They assume it’s your fault for being willing to trust
They assume it’s your fault but it is not
Sending nudes is not a crime, distributing them without consent is

Girls held at ransom over an act of intimacy
No longer his girlfriend, do they no longer deserve dignity?
Private photos so maliciously leaked, they only serve to kill off women’s self esteem
How many have been left feeling too humiliated to seek help?
Broken by digital torment and desperate to get out
No matter what anyone sends to you, it is not your property to share

A naked body is not a tradable commodity
What gives you the right to think that it’s fair?
A relationship ends so you rip their dignity to shreds
With explicit images, in the vulgar name of revenge

Held at ransom over an act of intimacy
No longer his girlfriend, do they no longer deserve dignity?
“If I cannot be with you, then I must ruin you”
What gives you the right to be so callous and brutal?

How many have been left feeling too humiliated to seek help?
Broken by digital torment and desperate to get out
For years it has been a criminal offence but privacy protocols are written by men
And they often fail to spot the loop holes that permit the exploitation of women
Once an image is leaked it’s so hard to remove
If the laws do not change things will never improve

Where is protection for the victim?
Where is the justice for those not consenting?
Where is protection for the women?
