Have you ever had intimate images of yourself shared without your consent? 

The police and the Revenge Porn Helpline want to hear from you through a short and anonymous survey.

Anyone based in the UK who has been a victim of intimate image abuse and was aged 18 or older when it happened can complete the survey, regardless of whether they have reported to the police or not.

The results of the survey will help to improve the police’s response to this type of crime and better protect victims. You can complete the survey by clicking this link: https://orlo.uk/2FpZS
