In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the creation and dissemination of deepfakes, especially in the area of online sexual content. These deepfakes have mainly been used to create non-consensual content of a sexual nature. This research examines the issue of sexual deepfakes from a variety of perspectives based on a systematised literature review, highlighting their role in perpetuating sexual violence and gender bias by sexualising and objectifying women without their consent. It discusses the implications of the continuation of sexual abuse, the lack of consent in the digital environment, the impact on victims and the role of this technology in perpetuating sexual violence. Strategies to curb the creation and dissemination of sexual deepfakes are described, including detection methods, legal frameworks and media literacy. Addressing this issue in a comprehensive and collaborative manner is crucial to mitigating the negative impacts of this emerging technology and protecting victims' rights.
