Worth noting that one of the most practical ways you can support image-based abuse survivors is by signing our petition to introduce a dedicated Image-Based Abuse Law:

www.change.org/p/deepfake-s...

Sign the Petition

Deepfake sexual abuse is not ‘porn’. Demand action to stop image-based abuse!

I found it challenging to write about Channel 4's Vicky Pattison 'deepfake sex tape' doc.

But I did my best here:

www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/vick...

Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape: What survivors of image-based abuse want you to know

The documentary sees Vicky Pattison create and release a deepfake sex tape, but some survivors think the stunt is a step too far.

Wrote about the dawn of #MeToo 2.0 for Glamour:

Is this the dawn of #MeToo 2.0?

As Blake Lively sues Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment, many other famous women are speaking up.

I'll never really understand artists (writers included) who want to take shortcuts with their work. The joy is IN the work, isn't it? It's in the struggle and stretching and hammering. Anything that speeds up my writing is, I think, probably bad for it.

Here's my poem on the subject 🙂

Standing up for our daughters

‘I’ve got no f*cks left to give’ is a
line I see online, most often from a

middle-aged, middle-class woman

frustrated with the nurturing
of undeserving people
that she’s done for many years

hurting and soul-searching
she thinks perhaps it’s time to

speak out

now that she has

• confidence
• a home
• security of income

she wants her daughter, colleague,
niece, to know they don’t have to put up with
all that crap

turns out that she does still
care, after all.

In my latest political profile I interviewed Justice Minister for VAWG Alex Davies Jones about Labour's plans to tackle male violence against women and girls.

"Image-based abuse is just as serious as physical abuse":

Alex Davies-Jones: 'Image-based abuse is just as serious as physical abuse'

The Minister spoke to GLAMOUR about life in government, tackling male violence, and why she has no regrets for calling out Andrew Tate.

I am so proud to share this article I have written for Migrant's Women's Press as part of the #16DaysOfActivism2024. In the article, I discuss how press coverage fails to discuss femicide as the crisis it is.

No wonder Conor McGregor is rattled – this is not how accusations against famous men usually play out.

To mark the #16DaysOfActivism2024, I've been working on a bundle of resources to help readers envision (and fight for) a safer, more inclusive world for women and girls.

As Arundhati Roy says, “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

Perfect example of the kind of content I LOVE to commission:

'Why are ‘deepfake porn’ tutorials still showing up in search engines?'

Why are ‘deepfake porn’ tutorials still showing up in search engines?

A GLAMOUR investigation has found that the UK's most-used search engines are funnelling users towards explicit AI software and how-to guides.

I took a break from writing about VAWG to review a mattress for GLAMOUR UK. I could get used to this

Is a good mattress the secret to better skin, as well as sleep? I decided to find out.
