Sexual Extortion in Pakistan — Your Emergency Guide

Sexual extortion (sextortion) — blackmail using intimate images or information — is rising rapidly in Pakistan. You are not alone, and there are clear steps to take.

🚨 Do NOT pay blackmailers. Payment confirms you will pay and escalates demands. Most never release content even when paid.

If You Are Being Blackmailed

  1. Stop contact — do not respond or negotiate
  2. Screenshot and preserve evidence — all messages, profile links, payment demands
  3. Report to FIA Cybercrime — Helpline 9911, cybercrime.gov.pk
  4. Report on the platform — Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook all have reporting tools
  5. Tell someone you trust — isolation makes blackmailers more powerful

What Law Enforcement Can Do

FIA Cybercrime has successfully prosecuted sextortion cases. They can trace accounts, coordinate with international law enforcement, and pursue perpetrators — including those operating from overseas.

💡 NCII Tools: StopNCII.org allows you to hash your images so platforms can detect and remove them before distribution.
