Sarah Champion responds to Government’s failure to provide assurances on funding for revenge porn helpline
Sarah Champion MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, responding to the Government’s failure to provide assurances that it will continue to fund the national revenge porn helpline, said:
“Once again, the Tories are all talk but no action when protecting women and girls from violence.
“The revenge porn helpline is an invaluable resource for victims who are desperate to receive advice on how to have indecent images removed from the internet and how to pursue a prosecution if they so choose.
“Coming forward as a survivor of revenge porn takes such bravery and we need to send the message that those victims will be supported in every way possible.
“Labour is urging the Government to maintain this vital, value-for-money service. Ministers must now clarify and publish their continued funding arrangements for the helpline.”
