Sexual violence is never the survivor’s fault. Survivors deserve to be heard, believed and treated with dignity, compassion and respect — whether they choose to report, speak publicly or remain private.

Recording people without their knowledge or consent can be deeply invasive and distressing. As wearable technology develops, we must ensure it cannot become another means of watching, harassing or controlling women and girls in their everyday lives.
