Our #NotYoursToView campaign proposed for the UK government to take stronger action against intimate image abuse, which has been supported by organisations and MPs across the UK. The call for a general election has now affected this and runs the risk of being delayed, however, we’re continuing to call for an immediate response, whilst ensuring that all political parties prioritise this as part of their manifestos. Learn more from our latest article and why immediate intervention from the government is so vital. ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gBYG57TH

“This week’s call from the White House has cited a “phenomenal acceleration” of this form of damaging non-consensual intimate imagery. This growing rate is alarming for us at the Revenge Porn Helpline as we work to combat and support those who have been impacted by intimate image abuse. We encourage this call from the White House and strongly implore that industry platforms, gatekeepers and tech companies join the likes of Facebook, OnlyFans, TikTok, Bumble, and many more to implement StopNCII technology. The creation of synthetic sexual content has created complexities within the law, and although the call from the White House highlights the specific need for comprehensive federal legislation, the participation from tech industry companies will strengthen the global fight against this content.” (Sophie Mortimer, Revenge Porn Helpline Manager) Learn more about the latest call to action from the White House, as well as why an improved response towards intimate image abuse is needed, in our latest article ⬇ https://lnkd.in/evjabVjq #tech #industry #protection

We all have worries and, at some point, will all experience things that will impact our wellbeing. Most people are fortunate enough to be able to talk about these experiences with family or friends, but can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have anyone to talk to? For some young people, this is the case, and it’s important that schools and other settings have processes in place to encourage people to talk during their time of need. Anonymous reporting is an effective process that can allow young people to open up in confidence to a trusted adult within their community. At SWGfL, we support this process by providing Whisper, which allows wellbeing and the needs of the community to be prioritised at all times.
