How can we help you?
We are a UK service supporting adults (aged 18+) who are experiencing intimate image abuse, also known as, revenge porn.
The Revenge Porn Helpline was established in 2015 alongside the legislation which made it an offence to share intimate images or videos of someone, either on or offline, without their consent. The Helpline is run by a small team of passionate and motivated individuals who are here and ready to help.

The person I spoke with was very calming and professional, she listened very well and gave me some excellent advice. The rate that they worked to have the videos removed was so quick. I appreciate everything they have done.
