The govts. “earned settlement” plans punish and trap Black, minoritised & migrant victim-survivors of VAWG. These reforms are detrimental and cruel. They must be reversed.

EVAW's Director Andrea Simon spoke to @skynewsrss.bsky.social about the ban on strangulation in porn.
This is a vital step in recognising the role violent porn plays in shaping attitudes and driving dangerous behaviours, as well as regulating an industry that promotes and profits from VAWG.

Welcome move to ban strangulation in porn and hold tech platforms accountable for proactively detecting and removing it - reflecting years of campaigning by EVAW and others who've long warned about the normalisation of violence against women in online content.
Online porn showing choking to be made illegal, government says

We stand in solidarity with the woman attacked in Walsall.
Black and minoritised women are disproportionately targeted with male violence and systematically failed when they report this abuse. We demand justice!
