GET INVOLVED
Non-contact sexual offences, such as voyeurism, indecent exposure, upskirting, and online harassment are explicitly recognised within the UK Government’s Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy as part of the spectrum of harmful behaviours that disproportionately affect women and girls.
It Does Matter is about more than awareness. It’s a movement for change. It educates communities to recognise and call out unacceptable behaviour. It empowers victims to report easily (and anonymously if preferred). It champions allyship, helping us all protect each other.
