Ms Sims has also started a petition to make image-based sexual abuse a crime in Ireland, and see those guilty of such offences to be added to the sex offenders register and face a criminal conviction with jail terms of up to 7 years. In her petition, which currently has more than 61 thousand signatures, Ms Sims says: "Image-based sexual abuse is a huge violation of privacy and is a continuum of revenge pornography, upskirting, cyber-flashing, and many more. “Girls affected by image-based sexual abuse are often also victims of severe cyberbullying and job losses because of this”. The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have seen image-based sexual violence spike, with the UK revenge porn hotline seeing cases rise by 22 per cent in 2020.
