Abstract

Indonesia is currently facing a sexual violence emergency, with sexual violence being the most frequently reported form of violence against women. One form of Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) that remains underreported is the Non-Consensual Dissemination of Intimate Images (NCII), which refers to the distribution of intimate images without the victim’s consent. In Bali, NCII cases reflect an iceberg phenomenon in which only a small proportion of incidents are reported, while rapid tourism development and the expansion of digital communication are believed to increase the risk of such cases. This study aims to describe the NCII situation and to develop a peer support–based assistance model for vulnerable adolescents. A mixed-method approach was used by integrating quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were obtained through pre-test and post-test questionnaires during peer support training, while qualitative data were collected through observations during peer-led socialization activities in schools. The intervention consisted of two stages: researcher-led peer support training followed by peer-led dissemination. Statistical analysis at a significance level of α = 0.05 showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge after the intervention (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that a peer support–based assistance model can improve adolescents’ awareness and readiness to support NCII victims.
