New laws to tackle harmful po*******hy are now in force.

These changes aren't just about what people see online. Harmful po*******hy can normalise sexual violence and abuse with real consequences for women and children.

This is another step in our wider work to tackle violence against women and girls, both online and offline.

💜 we are seeing so much increase in teenage abuse in young relationships , jealousy / tracking each other , controlling what they wear , who they speak and interact with on social media .
To break the cycle of abuse we must have education delivered at the early years stages around ‘what is love’, boundaries , respect and green flags to living a safe & happy life .

Holly was stabbed by her ex-boyfriend in 2023. Her murder was recorded as knife crime because the law doesn't recognise under 16s as victims of domestic abuse. Her parents are fighting to change this, in her memory.

Ahead of the 16 Days of Activism (25 November–10 December), let's take a closer look at why prevention matters.

Gender stereotypes, unequal power relations and attitudes that normalise control can create the conditions for violence against women and girls.

In her latest article, Sabine Reimann, President of Soroptimist International of Europe, explores why prevention must be at the heart of our efforts and how the Istanbul Convention provides a framework for lasting change.
