For years, victim blaming has hidden in plain sight — in court judgments, police reports, medical notes and even media coverage.
Now, there’s a way to see it clearly.

Our platform 𝗩𝗶𝗗𝗔 (Victim-Blaming Detection and Analysis) is live and available to use at app.herethical.ai

Many people have been turning to AI to understand when they have experienced poor victim services. But even the most advanced general models struggle to detect the subtle and systemic ways blame is shifted onto victims.

For example, in one of the most concerning family court judgments in our research — A v B Appeal Domestic Abuse [2023] EWHC 1499 (Fam) — the latest release of ChatGPT (5.1 Thinking) identified only 7 examples of victim-blaming language.

𝗩𝗶𝗗𝗔 flagged 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, enabling reviewers to pinpoint patterns of disbelief, minimisation, and misplaced responsibility with precision.

The comparison is shown in the video.

This is what domain-specific AI looks like — not just smarter, but more humane.
𝗩𝗶𝗗𝗔 is purpose-built to detect linguistic harms and surface the hidden biases that shape how survivors are treated.

If your organisation works in justice, policing, health, or social care, you can now use 𝗩𝗶𝗗𝗔 to identify, measure, and reduce victim blaming at scale.

Visit app.herethical.ai
to see how.
