Listen Later

Emma Holten is an acclaimed feminist activist who came into the public eye after launching The Consent Project with a Danish photographer Cecilie Bødker in September 2014 . The Consent Project was a direct response to Emma’s personal experience of becoming a victim of revenge porn a few years earlier and to a number of toxic discourses on the subject of non-consensual pornography that Emma saw develop in the public sphere. In addition to being an activist, Emma is also a writer, an educator, a speaker, an editor, and a co-founder of Friktion, an intersectional feminist publication based in Denmark.
