"I have friends who have boyfriends or boys who come in to have sex," says Jana, 7, about some classmates who play on Roblox, a popular online video game platform that also allows users to program and play games created by themselves or other users. According to the company's latest reportThe platform continues to grow: by the end of 2025, it had 144 million daily users, who had dedicated 78.6 billion hours to the game throughout the year. This figure would be equivalent to the entire population of Catalonia (around 8 million people) playing Roblox 24 hours a day for more than a year.

Imagine for a moment that your partner decides to take photos or videos without saying anything to you, while you're at home, dressed, undressed, cooking, in the bathroom, in the shower, or even having sex. And he shares this material on a platform with other unknown users (perhaps even an acquaintance). Suddenly, one day, you find out that your image has been shared among thousands of men and that you've been turned into a sexual object, as if you've been exposed in a market. No one has asked your permission to use your image, neither your body nor yours. The person you've shared your life with for years and in whom you trusted has decided to expose you to the world through a platform filled with sexualizing and degrading comments, turning you into a kind of product or a trophy (here comes a demonstration of virility). Suddenly, you're his, and they haven't even considered you. It's a way of showing power, in a shared space, with a common language that binds you. We are facing a space of male belonging and complicity in which behaviors are reinforced, and with a common impulse that increasingly leads to the transgression of boundaries.

A new website with stolen or altered photos of famous women has shaken Italy, which is once again discovering the proliferation of forums with thousands of followers who unleash the most toxic masculinity arguments by making sexist comments about the images. In this case, the victims are socially prominent women, such as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, but there are also other leading politicians, actresses and influencers.

For six years, Mia Moglie (My Wife, in Italian) was a public Facebook group where men posted photographs of their partners, without having given the consent, in which they appeared sleeping or on the beach. Although Meta, the social media company's owner, had long received complaints for allowing posts that violated the right to privacy, it wasn't until feminist Carolina Capria and the organization No Justice, No Pace reported it on Instagram that the page was shut down. Up to 32,000 men had shared images, some accompanied by sexualizing or degrading comments and retouched with artificial intelligence.

With the far right gaining ground in parliaments and governments and women's rights threatened around the world, we spoke to four women who are fighting against this regression of rights in four areas: sexual and reproductive rights, labour rights, the rise of sexism among young people and new forms of hatred. Feminism and feminists as a dam against anti-rights discourse.

This year, March 8, International Women's Day, finds us in the midst of a wave of reaction due to the push that Donald Trump is giving to the most conservative positions both in the United States and in the countries and formations within his sphere of influence. In the dossier we speak with activists, professionals and scholars who, from their different fields, maintain positions on such relevant issues as cyberbullying or labor or reproductive rights. We also look at what is happening abroad, with the cases of the United States, Iran and Afghanistan, Korea and Argentina.
