(asked on 23rd April 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking with the Secretary of State for the Home Department to help tackle the non-consensual filming of women.
This question was answered on 29th April 2026
Sadly, as technology becomes entwined with our day-to-day lives, we recognise the threat tech-enabled harm poses.
That is why our VAWG Strategy sets out how we are seeking to tackle it.
I am pleased to say on 1 April, we commenced the Protection from Sex-Based Harassment in Public Act 2023; which makes it an offence to film where the intent is to cause harassment, alarm or distress because of the victim’s sex.
