'Revenge Porn' Is Not The Right Term To Describe Our Experiences, Say Victims

Lauren Evans is a victim of ‘revenge porn’, a term she hates. “The definition of revenge is someone doing something to you because you’ve done something to them – it implies the victim must have done something to deserve this,” she says. Revenge porn laws in England and Wales were brought in as the government scrambled to protect women against new forms of online abuse, and now they’re under review – but victims are asking if the terminology is making the situation worse.
