Adult Sexual Exploitation

Policy Rationale:

‍

At Evolution Global, we acknowledge the unique position of the insurance industry, which navigates a spectrum of sensitive topics and issues unparalleled in any other sector. Our industry's distinctive nature often leads us to engage with matters that, at first glance, might not appear directly relevant—such as Adult Sexual Exploitation. However, we recognize that our industry is comprised of individuals who may encounter these issues both within and outside their professional lives.

‍

The complexity and delicacy of these topics require a nuanced approach to conversations that are pertinent to the industry's improvement and the handling of intricate subjects. Our community standards are crafted with this understanding at their core. They aim to foster a supportive environment that accommodates discussions relevant to our industry, while also providing a framework that respects and protects the dignity of all individuals involved.

‍

These policies reflect our commitment to addressing the needs and concerns of our industry's diverse community, acknowledging the personal and professional intersections that may arise. We strive to create a space where meaningful dialogue can contribute to the betterment of our industry, acknowledging the broad spectrum of experiences that our members bring to their roles.

‍

We recognize the importance of Conversation Insurance as a place to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation as faced within the context of the insurance industry and its people. In an effort to create space for this conversation and promote a safe environment, we allow those impacted by these events to share their experiences, but remove content that depicts, threatens, or promotes sexual violence, sexual assault, or sexual exploitation. We also remove content that displays, advocates for or coordinates sexual acts with non-consenting parties to avoid facilitating non-consensual sexual acts.  Any acceptable mention of this topic should always be in an appropriate forum with a warning to the readers that this is a delicate subject and should be relevant to the Insurance Industry.  

‍

To protect victims and survivors, we remove images that depict incidents of sexual violence and intimate images shared without the consent of the person(s) pictured. As noted in the introduction, we also work with external safety experts to discuss and improve our policies and enforcement around online safety issues, and we may remove content when they provide information that content is linked to harmful activity. We’ve also put together a guide to reporting and removing intimate images shared without your consent.
