NEW: Our report, Digital Strip Searches, reveals the shocking extent of excessive police demands for rape victims' mobile phones.

No victim should have to choose between privacy + justice.

Police must urgently devise a lawful + proportionate approach.

Police mobile phone + digital download technology doesn’t allow victims to give police relevant pieces of evidence without feeling like their private lives will be put on trial:
@amnesty @EVAWuk @centreWJ @JUSTICEhq @privacyint @libertyhq @SBSisters @fawcettsociety @survivorstrust @VictimsComm @jessphillips @CarolineLucas @ManduReid 3. Police have even used artificial intelligence to search + analyse this excessive info taken from victims:
We’re at the Houses of Parliament for our report launch.

We heard incredibly distressing personal accounts from survivors let down by the system: asked for full phone downloads + counselling notes.

But also the positive action being taken by @VictimsComm, @centreWJ, @LDNVictimsComm + others.

There is huge consensus for urgent reform.
Thank you so much to all our speakers.

And thank you to @carolynharris24, @jessphillips and @SarahChampionMP for supporting this event in Parliament.
