Voyeurism: Public Places
The question
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.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
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.
