One morning in 2011, Danish journalist Emma Holten attempted to log onto her Facebook and email just like any other day.

Initially her attempts failed, something she didn’t worry much about as she tended to forget passwords regularly. What awaited her when she eventually did gain access changed her life.

Holten’s accounts had been hacked and intimate photographs of her were posted online. Thousands of people viewed the photographs and to this day she still receives harassment online.

‘Revenge porn’ and the issue of hacked images has become much more prevalent in recent years.

Holten decided she would do something to regain power over her body and released an entirely new set of pictures, this time with her consent.

Watch the powerful video below:
