Majority of young people unaware sharing intimate images without consent is a crime 

Many young people weren’t sure if a partner getting jealous frequently or looking through their phone and asking for their passwords were warning signs for abuse, Women's Aid found.

More than half of young people (53%) do not know that sharing intimate images without consent is now a crime, new research by Women’s Aid shows.

While 81% of young people feel a responsibility to intervene if they are concerned a close friend might be being abused by a partner, just 16% believe it is easy to spot the signs of abuse in a friend’s relationship.
