N2  - The Revenge Porn Helpline (RPH) is operated by South West Grid for Learning (SWGfL) [in the UK] and supports victims of intimate image abuse. RPH has provided support for over five years with caseloads increasing year–by–year. In 2020, during the COVID–19 pandemic, caseload increased two-fold. From 2015–20 the RPH supported over 8,000 people and successfully removed nearly 200,000 pieces of content shared illegally.

This report shows that reported instances of intimate image abuse have increased significantly over the last five years. This type of abuse continues to be a gendered issue with women more likely to come forward as victims.

We aim to widen the scope of support for those experiencing intimate image abuse with technological innovations, further advice for sex workers and contributions to the law review
being a the forefront of RPH’s work in the future. (From the Executive summary). The timeline infographic can be downloaded separately. Record #7432
