'It was so amazing to see people sat in a very important building, taking this seriously,' EmAtack said after the briefing with MariaMillerUK
met with MPs at Parliament today for a briefing about online anonymity - and asked MPs to support Grazia's campaign to make cyberflashing a crime.
'It was an intense conversation about a really important subject,' Emily says, speaking to Grazia after the meeting. 'It's a subject that I'm so passionate about, and it was so amazing to see people sat in a very important building, taking this seriously. And it warms your heart, knowing that people are concerned about the same things that you are.'
The briefing was chaired by Conservative MP Maria Miller, and was attended by numerous MPs. Maria chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group for UN Women and has been campaigning since 2014 for better recognition in the law of the appalling abuse that women receive online. But Emily, while she has a huge platform and 1.7million followers on Instagram, is not the only victim of the crime. 41% of all Millennial women have been sent an unsolicited nude photo from a man. Yet there is currently no legislation regarding cyberflashing – it is not a criminal act.
