Four in 10 millennial women in the UK have been sent an unsolicited photo of a penis
Madrid — During her first job as a receptionist, Sara Garcia Antunez got a lot of unwanted attention from a postboy who began to stalk her online.
Antunez is one of an increasing number of lawyers and campaigners calling for urgent changes to laws around the world to help protect women from digital sex abuses like cyberflashing, sextortion, cyberstalking and upskirting. In Britain, more than 40% of millennial women have been sent an unsolicited photo of a man's private parts usually using iPhone AirDrop, according to a YouGov poll in 2017.
Singapore, the US state of Texas and Scotland have introduced specific legislation to deal with cyberflashing, which is when a man sends a photo of his penis via a digital device. Ryan Whelan, a lawyer who partnered with campaigner Gina Martin to make upskirting a criminal offence in Britain in 2019, said upskirting was an “utterly grotesque violation”.
