Make sending unsolicited pictures of men’s genitals a sexual offence.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

With the rise of online sexual harassment in the last couple of years, I feel the only way to decrease this and make people think about the consequences would be to change the law making it a sexual offence and at the very least to sign the register for 1 year.

I don’t think there is a strong enough deterrent against this, it’s all well and good to hold the social media platforms accountable but its the individuals that need to be targeted and be brought to justice it’s not any different from people exposing themselves in public. It’s disgraceful and has no place in society.
