Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Inequality
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping critical areas such as hiring and workplace management, yet it risks systematically reproducing and amplifying existing inequalities, particularly regarding vulnerable groups. As addressing this urgent concern, we apply a feminist framework to examine gender differences in experiences of AI‐driven discrimination among employees and job seekers. Using survey data from 4417 individuals across 2…
Very large, largely silent
In 2023, the European Commission designated Aylo (Pornhub.com), Stripchat, and XVideos as very large online platforms under the Digital Services Act, subjecting them to binding obligations to identify, assess, and mitigate systemic risks. In 2025, these platforms submitted their first risk assessment reports to the European Commission. This article offers a systematic and critical analysis of these reports from a sex-positive, rights-based perspe…
Transparency in the datafied workplace
As AI systems become increasingly embedded in the workplace, and the datafication of recruitment and employment grows more pervasive, ensuring the trustworthiness of these technologies from design to deployment has emerged as a pressing concern - particularly within the European Union’s evolving regulatory framework. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Act play a key role in shaping the governance of AI, including in recruitm…
Desire in Code
This paper explores the intersection of sex robots, rape, and sexual consent, examining their legal and normative challenges. Designed for sexual interaction—primarily for a cisgender male, heterosexual market—sex robots risk reinforcing women’s subordination and oppression. Their ability to simulate sexual consent further complicates their societal and legal positioning. While some advocate prohibition, this paper examines regulatory alternative…
Online and technology-facilitated violence against women
In the rapidly evolving landscape of online and technology-facilitated violence, the Platform of independent expert mechanisms on discrimination and violence against women (the EDVAW Platform) plays a key role in bringing together international and regional mechanisms. Published in 2022, its first thematic report addresses the pressing need to tackle online and technology-facilitated violence, offering a comprehensive overview and proposing colle…
Image-Based Sexual Abuse and EU Law
In May 2024, the European Union adopted the Directive on violence against women and domestic violence, marking the first EU-wide binding legislation to address various forms of sexualized and gendered harm. This Article provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Directive’s provisions on image-based sexual abuse (“IBSA”), encompassing the non-consensual taking, creating, and sharing of intimate materials, as well as threats to distribute th…
Unfolding the case of returnees
The return of foreign fighters and their families to the European Union has mostly been considered a security threat by member States, which consequently adopt repressive measures aimed at providing an immediate, short-term response to this perceived threat. In addition to this strong-arm approach, reintegration strategies have also been used to prevent returnees from falling back into terrorism and to break down barriers of hostility between cit…
