Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in all its forms, including online, is a priority for this Government.

The Department has engaged with a range of specialist organisations, including the Revenge Porn Helpline and others supporting victims of intimate image abuse, to understand emerging challenges and inform our ongoing policy development. We recently announced stronger protections for victims of intimate image abuse by requiring platforms to remove such content within 48 hours, enabling images to be blocked across services. We will continue to engage with relevant organisations, including the Revenge Porn Helpline, as these measures are implemented.
