Research into online sexual harassment and consent

Researchers are looking for members of the public to take part in research into online sexual harassment and consent.

Researchers from Leeds Trinity University and The University of Salford are conducting the UK-based collaborative study to look at what is understood by individuals about consent and sexual harassment online. Anyone over the age of 18 can take part.


The research aims to provide recommendations that will improve people’s awareness of sexual harassment, help to identify those at risk, and lead to strategies that could be implemented to reduce incidences of sexual harassment.


For more details and to take part, visit the research website.

RASASC was delighted to be invited to be part of the VAWG roundtable discussion hosted by MP Helen Maguire

We’re pleased with the news that children who have experienced child sexual abuse and exploitation are now to be considered in the new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy, as announced by MP Jess Phillips. The new VAWG strategy was due to be published in the summer, but has now been pushed back towards the end of 2025. We will have to wait until the final strategy is released to see the impact it will have for those concerned. RASASC was part of a large contingent of signatories on an open letter to the Home Secretary, requesting that victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation be included within the VAWG strategy. We are delighted that this action has had a positive impact. Following several delays and a degree of mystery surrounding what will be in the final version, we sincerely hope that the completed VAWG strategy has heeded the advice and recommendations from experts, to deliver an effective and fully resourced plan of action.
