Petition Action

Comprehensive image-based sexual abuse law

Petition Details

1) Less lag time - consent emphasised for taking/sharing in a variety of sexual, intimate, private and invasive contexts when new technology/trends arise
2) Automatic anonymity for victims
3) No motivation loopholes - focus on consent
4) Develop support services, police training, education etc

Additional Information

To protect us all in our increasingly technological world, laws regarding consent in taking/sharing sexually-related images need reviewing. Why?
1) Comprehensiveness - careful phrasing and consideration will lead to less gaps
2) Anonymity – naming victims furthers abuse and prevents reporting
3) Loopholes – People that disregard consent for a joke or a boast need to understand the impact of their actions
4) Support – prevent offending, caring for victims and re-educating offenders creates good

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you'd like changes to the law, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government or Parliament to make.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
