Revenge porn victims’ helpline launched in UK
- Can affect people as young as 11
- A helpline for victims of revenge porn has been launched as part of a concerted push to tackle the growing problem of explicit photographs being shared online without the victim’s consent.
- Hundreds of sites dedicated to non-consensual porn throughout the world
- 30 sites “specialised” in revenge porn content used in the UK alone.
- 43 UK police forces were asked for details of reported incidents of revenge pornography between 1 January 2012 and 1 July 2014
The revenge porn helpline will work with police and websites to try and get non-consensual explicit photos removed and provide victims with help about how to get free legal advice. It will work with other services, such as Women’s Aid, the Stalking Helpline or Relate, so that victims know where they can turn if they need more help.I think personally revenge porn helplines will recover some of the damage dealt by these videos and images posted online. Something that should have been in place along time ago, many people who have suffered from revenge porn have often lead to suicidal acts.
