00:00Hi, I'm Jeannie Martin. I'm campaigning to make upskirting a sexual offence, and I've come out to Westminster today to
00:05see what people think about upskirting and if they know what it is.
00:12So, have you heard of upskirt photos? Is that where they take a picture from the bottom of the screen?
00:18Yes.
00:20I read it in an article somewhere. I don't remember where, but recently.
00:30Have you heard of upskirt photos of upskirt? Yes. Can you tell me what it is? Disgusting.
00:38It's when someone would take a photo of someone underneath their skirts. Yes, definitely. Without consent.
00:45Without consent. Specifically. Specifically, yeah.
00:47I was trying to find people to talk to, and I just walked up to these two lovely women who
00:52are about 45, 50, having a chat. Seems really lovely.
00:56And I asked them if they wanted to answer some questions on sexual harassment, and she just grabbed my hand
01:00and said,
01:00oh, it doesn't exist. And I said, what, sexual harassment? She said, yes.
01:04She said, you young girls think when a man puts his head on your knee, it's sexual harassment.
01:07And I said, no, I'm talking about men taking pictures of your crotch without your consent.
01:11And she said, it doesn't happen. It hasn't happened to me.
01:14And, yes. Yes, he's got it. He knows it.
01:18And if I told you that this would come in the UK, would you assume that it was a sexual
01:22event or not?
01:23Yes.
01:24Um, no, I don't think it is, because I think the UK probably has not very many laws about sexual
01:31harassment.
01:31If it happened to you or your friends or your girlfriends, what would you do about it?
01:36I'd lay them out.
01:37You'd what?
01:38I'd lay them out.
01:38You'd lay them out?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Love it.
01:40You would?
01:41Yeah.
01:41Because you think it's wrong?
01:42Oh, yeah. I'd lay them out.
01:43And you think it should be against the law?
01:44Yeah, possibly.
01:45And would you tell anyone?
01:46Um, I mean, if there was someone there.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Okay. Perfect.
01:54Please all go and sign the petition to make upskirting a sexual offence in the UK.
01:59Um, the women of England and the world should be as protected as the women of Scotland are
02:03and other countries in the world.
02:05It is a sexual offence and we need your signature to put pressure on the parliament.
02:09So please go and sign in.
