Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

In some instances, women have achieved successful prosecution, their perpetrators given prison sentences, yet, appallingly, these images still remain online. To highlight just how serious this really is, those impacted often describe the trauma and helplessness as driving them to the brink of suicide. We cannot rely on the good will of internet services to tackle this or for the Government to undertake yet another review. We must finally offer comprehensive protections to those whose intimate images have been shared without their consent to allow them to reclaim their lives and stop them living in fear.
