Written Question
Intimate Image Abuse
Thursday 27th March 2025

Asked by: Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) charities, (2) campaign organisations, and (3) survivors, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology has met regarding adult non-consensual intimate image abuse since 5 July 2024; and on which date each meeting took place.

Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Secretary of State has made it a key priority to tackle intimate image abuse and in September 2024 made new intimate images offences priority offences under the OSA. Online platforms must proactively tackle such content from 17 March.

The Secretary of State cares deeply about this topic and spoke alongside campaigners at Ofcom’s violence against women and girls event in November.

Ministers have regular meetings with a range of stakeholders on a number of subjects, including non-consensual intimate image abuse. Details of Ministerial meetings, including the purpose of meetings, are published quarterly on the GOV.UK website
