What We Do
Everyone deserves a life free of online sexual exploitation and abuse
Program 01
Aster Ellis Fund
Free, trauma-informed support from the moment you reach out.
Our flagship survivor program provides individualized support at no cost, including one year licenses for weekly image detection, monitoring, and removal, plus case management, help preparing victim impact statements, guidance through law enforcement and the courts, and referrals to verified legal and mental health resources. It serves any survivor of image-based sexual abuse, including non-consensual intimate image sharing, AI-generated deepfakes, and sextortion, regardless of age, background, gender, or geography.

Our signature program is named the Aster Ellis Fund, for the aster flower, a symbol of dignity and justice, and for Elliston Berry, whose nickname is Ellis. At 14, Elliston's courage and advocacy helped drive passage of the Take It Down Act, the first comprehensive federal law addressing image-based sexual abuse in all its forms. We stand for justice for every Ellis, no matter their age or background.

Program 02
The Complicit Index
Naming the infrastructure that makes abuse possible.
Image-based sexual abuse relies on content delivery networks, domain registrars, advertising platforms, and payment processors that profit from keeping it online. The Complicit Index exposes these companies with scored, evidence-based investigations, and leads the effort to change how these systems operate. Our initial analysis found that 90 of 111 sampled links of abuse material used a single content delivery network, and that all 111 were monetized through just six advertising companies.

Research & Education
Independent evidence, built on data no one else has.
We publish independent research and annual reports on the scope and patterns of image-based sexual abuse, using detection data no other research institution can access. That evidence supports platform education, legislative solutions, strengthens direct services, and powers public education that reaches people before harm occurs. Year one delivers a six-month landscape report and the inaugural State of Image-Based Abuse report. This work is possible through our data partnership with Protect Privacy AI.
