Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, or plan to have, with the Revenge Porn Helpline about the work it undertakes helping victims of intimate image abuse.

The Government greatly values the work of the Revenge Porn Helpline, which provides high-quality support and advice to victims of intimate image abuse.

Freedom from Violence and Abuse: a cross-government strategy to build a safer society for women and girls included a commitment to explore routes to ensure that intimate images that are taken, created or shared without consent are removed online. We have engaged – and will continue to engage – with representatives from the Revenge Porn Helpline on options to achieve this commitment. This includes considering amendments tabled to the Crime and Policing Bill on the removal of non-consensual intimate images online.

The Home Office provides funding to the Revenge Porn Helpline, which was increased for the 2024/2025 financial year in recognition of the year-on-year increases to their workload.
