The practice of sending and receiving sexually explicit images via mobile phones (sexting) has grown exponentially in recent years with the accessi- bility of cellular technology. This essay examines this practice, when conducted by teenagers, in light of a Christian feminist approach to justice. Without harm- fully exhorting girls' sexual purity, we must nevertheless develop a moral framework that challenges the practice of sexting while simultaneously empow- ering young women to claim primary control over their own sexual experience. For Christians, justice, addressed to sexting, must attend to sexual injustice even as it promotes genuine freedom, embodiment, mutuality and relational intimacy, and equality.
