Make e-Quality a reality

Join us to fight for the rights of revenge porn victims. 

What is revenge porn?

Revenge porn is the publication of explicit material portraying someone who has not consented for the image or video to be shared. Once images start circulating online, it is difficult to bring an end to the abuse. Often the posts include private information including the victim’s name, links to social media profiles, telephone numbers and addresses.  Anonymous harassers then spread the material to further humiliate the victim.

Ninety per cent of victims of revenge porn are women. Nearly all of these women suffer significant emotional distress, and many are faced with further harassment and stalking.

What is the Women’s Equality Party doing about it?

WE worked on cross party proposals to call for improvements to the current law to prevent revenge porn and help victims get justice.

WE are fighting for:

• anonymity for victims to empower them to seek justice

• compensation for victims

• protection from those who promote, solicit or profit from revenge porn

WE are also monitoring the impact of the new Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 and WE are working with experts across the UK and in the US to design legislative proposals to tackle the epidemic scale of online abuse against women and girls.

If you have been affected by revenge porn, contact the Revenge Porn Helpline from 10.00am - 4.00pm Monday to Friday on 0845 6000 459. Emails can be sent at any time to [email protected].
