Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
Le foot, la chaleur, l'alcool, le confinement, les fêtes de fin d'année, est-ce qu'il existe un moment où les hommes n'ont pas envie de frapper les femmes ?
Not gonna spread the video but if we could identify those three persons that would be great. Especially the guy in sunglasses who was trying to physically intimidate H

“I wanna share a story, I have a friend who lives very close to here at Wembley, she was walking home very late by herself, and she started to feel like someone was following her and made her uncomfortable and little bit scared. As she was walking she came across a group of fans leaving the show, and she asked them if she could walk with them. They walked her home 15 minutes out of their way in the opposite direction to walk her home. And I’m telling you that story as it’s one of so many stories that I’ve heard over the years from people, friends, some of you about people you’ve met and the friends you’ve made and the community you’ve created together.” - Harry at #TogetherTogetherLondon
