Bloq 24/7

BloQ 24/7 is a freely available, interactive educational application aimed at adolescents, designed to prevent technology-facilitated sexual violence and promote digital relationships based on consent, respect, equality, and shared responsibility. Its purpose is to equip young people with the tools to understand the different forms of sexual violence facilitated by technology, identify risk situations, and develop the skills needed to engage safely, critically, and responsibly in digital environment. Through a gamified structure organized into progressive levels that combine educational content, interactive games, simulations, and reflective activities, the application addresses issues such as digital sexual consent, image-based sexual harassment and abuse, the non-consensual sharing of intimate content, sextortion, grooming, deepfakes, digital control, and other forms of technology-facilitated sexual violence. These contents, tailored to adolescents’ digital experiences, promote active, practical, and participatory learning by engaging users in the analysis of situations and decision-making. The proposed activities include games designed to identify and challenge myths and beliefs, as well as exercises to recognize emotions and detect warning signs in online interactions. In addition, through contextualized scenarios and simulations of digital conversations involving requests for intimate content, pressure, threats, or controlling behaviors, users are asked to evaluate different responses, anticipate potential consequences, and make decisions. The application also incorporates activities aimed at identifying factors that may increase or reduce risk, as well as developing protective strategies. Tools such as the Risk-o-meter encourage reflection on the risks present in different digital scenarios and on the decisions that can help prevent them. Another key resource is the Emergency Kit, which facilitates access to guidance, support resources, and contact channels for specialized services assisting victims of digital violence. Thanks to its versatility, the application can be used in secondary schools, upper secondary education, vocational training institutions, universities, and non-formal educational settings, as well as in comprehensive sexuality education, gender equality, positive coexistence, and digital citizenship programs. It serves as a complementary resource for teachers, school counselors, social educators, and other professionals working with young people. The combination of educational content, games, simulations, and support resources makes BloQ 24/7 an innovative tool for bringing the prevention of technology-facilitated sexual violence closer to adolescents’ digital realities, strengthening the skills required for critical and responsible technology use, and contributing to the development of more equal relationships and safer, more respectful digital environments free from sexual violence.
