Cyberflashing: What Should We Do About It?

This free webinar will examine the urgent action needed to challenge cyberflashing (also known as sending ‘unsolicited dick pics’) including options for law reform, education and culture change.

With the UK Government currently considering how to regulate Online Harms including cyberflashing, and the English Law Commission consulting on new legislation, this webinar provides a valuable opportunity to hear about the latest developments and contribute to change.

The webinar also coincides with the publication of McGlynn and Johnson’s new book – Cyberflashing: Recognising Harms, Reforming Laws - which is a comprehensive examination of the nature and harms of cyberflashing and makes recommendations for criminal law reform.

Sophie Gallagher, Deputy Lifestyle Editor at The Independent and formerly of the Huffington Post where she published many articles revealing women’s experiences of cyberflashing, generating demands for change.

Jasmine Mohammad, VAWG Advocacy Manager, from the Angelou Centre which provides holistic support for black, minoritised and migrant survivors of domestic and sexual violence and harmful practices. 

Professor Clare McGlynn QC (Hon) and Dr Kelly Johnson from Durham University
