“…Other research frames LGBTQ+ people as a distinct group alongside women, facing unique risks, such as research on women and LGBTQ+ people's decisions to participate in India's #MeToo movement against sexual harassment on social media [151], which finds, in contrast to cisgender heterosexual women, LGBTQ+ participants "fall through the cracks" of sexual harassment laws. Similarly, Furlo et al studied "dating app users identifying as LGBTQIA+ or women" because these communities experience "disproportionate risk of sexual violence" [80].…”

LGBTQ+ people have received increased attention in HCI research, paralleling a greater emphasis on social justice in recent years. However, there has not been a systematic review of how LGBTQ+ people are researched or discussed in HCI. In this work, we review all research mentioning LGBTQ+ people across the HCI venues of CHI, CSCW, DIS, and TOCHI. Since 2014, we find a linear growth in the number of papers substantially about LGBTQ+ people and an exponential increase in the number of mentions. Research about LGBTQ+ people tends to center experiences of being politicized, outside the norm, stigmatized, or highly vulnerable. LGBTQ+ people are typically mentioned as a marginalized group or an area of future research. We identify gaps and opportunities for (1) research about and (2) the discussion of LGBTQ+ in HCI and provide a dataset to facilitate future Queer HCI research.

“…They introduced a methodology for codesigning with end-users in the early stages of the design process and borrowed terminology and concepts from a crime-prevention legal framework used in the justice system to fill this gap. Moreover, a recent study on how dating apps could be designed to mediate the exchange of sexual consent and serve as a scalable solution to prevent sexual violence is presented in [33]. It describes an interface that encourages online discussion with potential sex partners about consent and sexual boundaries before meeting them face-to-face.…”

Reporting non-consensual pornography: clarity, efficiency and distress

According to recent legislative initiatives, non-consensual pornography is a crime in several countries and social media providers have a duty to provide their users easy to use mechanisms to report abuses. In this paper, we analyse the state of the art of the interfaces for reporting non-consensual pornography from the victim’s perspective. Firstly, we analysed 45 content sharing platforms where aggressors might post non-consensual pornography. The analysis identified three distinct interaction styles for reporting the crime: Scriptum (a text-field where the user verbally describes the abuse), Bonam (a multilayered menu that includes a correct option), and Malam (a multilayered menu that does not include a correct option). Secondly, we conducted a within-subject study to evaluate the experience elicited by these interaction styles. Participants (N = 39) were given a scenario and asked to report six blurred images as non-consensual pornography using a medium-fidelity prototype. The results exposed complex trade-offs between clarity, efficiency, and distress among the different interaction styles. These trade-offs open foundational research directions transcending boundaries between human-computer interaction and multimedia studies and interfacing computer science research with the law.

“…The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) has studied and proposed various technology-facilitated tools for sexual wellness as well as solutions to sexual violence. To the latter, examples include wearable devices that emit bad odors to deter rapists [5], panic buttons on mobile devices to alert authorities [1], AI to detect sexual predators who attempt to coerce minors into meeting face-to-face [6] and dating apps transformed into sexual consent apps [4]. However, these solutions are typically either known to be unsuccessful, severely limited, or are lacking empirical evidence of their impact.…”

Participatory design has emerged as a popular approach to foreground ethical considerations in social robots by incorporating anticipated users and stakeholders as designers.Here we draw attention to the ethics of participatory design as a method, distinct from the ethical considerations of the social robot being co-designed. More specifically, we consider the ethical concerns posed by the act of stakeholder participation -the morals and values that should be explicitly considered when we, as researchers or practitioners, devise protocols for participatory design of social robots ("how" stakeholders participate). We use the case of robot-assisted sexual violence mitigation to exemplify ethical considerations of participatory design protocols such as risk of harm, exploitation, and reduction of stakeholder agency. To incorporate these and other ethical considerations in the creation of social robot participatory design protocols, we advocate letting stakeholders design their own form of participation by including them in the creation of participatory design sessions, structures, and processes.
