Fear says delete it. We say report it.

Don't Delete It, Report It is ACSAI's campaign with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime against sextortion: the threat to share someone's intimate images unless they pay or send more. That threatening message is not something to hide. It is evidence, and it can stop the person behind it.

Why the message matters

That message threatening to post your nude is evidence.

Sextortion runs on panic and shame. The person sending the threat wants you to act fast, alone, and quietly, and to wipe the chat so nobody ever finds out.

But every message, username, payment request and link they send is a trail. When you keep it, platforms can take accounts down, investigators can trace who is behind them, and we can help you get the images removed.

You did nothing wrong. They did, and the proof is on your phone.

If it happens to you, here's what to do.

Four steps, in this order. You don't have to do them alone. ACSAI's team can walk you through each one, confidentially.

Don't delete it

Screenshot the messages, the account name and profile link, any payment details or deadlines, and the date and time. Save them somewhere safe.
Don't pay. Don't send more.

Paying rarely ends it. It usually brings bigger demands. Stop replying once you have your evidence saved.
Block and report on the platform

After saving everything, block the account and report it to the app or site so they can act on it.
Report it to ACSAI

Tell us what happened. We'll help you get images taken down and connect you to support and, if you choose, law enforcement.

Campaign recap · Social Science Auditorium, University of Abuja

500+ people. One auditorium. Now they know what to do.

On Wednesday, 4 November, the campaign moved to the Social Science Auditorium at the University of Abuja. More than 500 students filled every tier as ACSAI and our partners at UNODC talked openly about something most people only whisper about: what sextortion looks like, why it targets young people, and why deleting the evidence plays straight into the abuser's hands.

Speakers took the mic to break down how these threats unfold, what the law says, and exactly where to report. Every attendee left with campaign materials, the reporting link, and a simple rule to pass on to friends: don't delete it, report it.
