I had the opportunity to interview and photograph three outstanding women who help sex crime victims. One of them was Lee Hyorin. She has been dealing with the devastating consequences of digital sex crimes since 2017.

Hyorin said that most victims who come to her start by setting out excuses. "It really breaks my heart when they do that. I make sure to tell them at great lengths that 'you're not responsible for this and it's not your fault'."
But the routine of taking down illicit content and shutting down operations never really ends. "Digital sex crime can strip someone of their basic human dignity - that's why we must never stop doing what we do."
