#notyourporn
A UK-based, sex positive movement fighting to protect non consenting adults, sex workers and under 18s from image-based sexual abuse.
Stories from survivors in our community
Survivors we’ve supported share their experience of working with #NotYourPorn. All quotes are shared with permission and names have been changed to protect their identities.
Meet Gwen,
a member of our survivor support group"#NotYourPorn has brought me a sense of connection with others who are uniquely qualified to understand my experience. #NotYourPorn has provided invaluable support on a professional, practical and personal level. Whether an outlet to share your experience is what you need, or you need a safe respite from the subject altogether, #NotYourPorn has built spaces and specialist support for survivors to cover all bases. While every case is unique, #NotYourPorn’s growing community reminds me every day that I’m not alone."
Meet Jade,
a member of our peer to peer support groupNYP has supported me massively over the past 7/8 years. After initially getting in contact with them they have helped provide guidance and support throughout each stage of my journey - including a reinvestigation, media campaigns and instructing lawyers. Most importantly they have just been there to listen, which has been incredibly appreciated throughout. Peer to peer support is essential for IBA survivors because there is so much victim blaming when it comes to IBA that the victim can sometimes feel like they have done something wrong or it is their fault. Having someone to chat to that has been through the same can show them that it isn’t their fault and that they aren’t in this alone, providing them with someone to talk to that really understands how they are feeling.
Meet Ameera,
a member of our campaign communityCampaigning with NYP is incredibly positive (and empowering) - and these are just some of the reasons I am so very proud of us:
● We're a friendly, welcoming bunch who are united in our mission to fight for victim-survivors of IBA. We're non-judgmental, and we recognise all forms of IBA as equally abhorrent: thus, we fight against (and support survivors of) all forms of IBA.
● Our campaigners have inspired and contributed to better protection for survivors of IBA: this includes, but isn't limited to changes in law and policy!
● Alongside the evolution of technology, the many forms of IBA are also rapidly evolving: we continue to raise our voices against challenges and limitations faced by victims of IBA.

#NotYourPorn started in 2019 from a lived-experience of image-based abuse. We have come a long way from our grassroots origins.

Since our beginnings, we have expanded into an ever growing community of survivors and survivor allies. We are survivor-led and survivor-centered because we believe in the power of lived-experience expertise to change the world. Standing side-by-side with the phenomenal survivor campaigners in our community we have changed laws and police, created laws, held technology and platforms accountable to work towards a world where image-based abuse is properly addressed and prevented. We have helped survivors to find community and healing, either by accessing support and engaging with justice systems or by providing community. We are just getting started.
