Minister pledges ban on strangulation pornography
Published: 6/18/2025

Government pledges to ban strangulation pornography following concerns about its impact on violent sexual encounters. The proposed changes aim to criminalize depictions of strangulation and suffocation in pornography, with amendments to be added to the Crime and Policing Bill. While some express concerns about policing sexual interests, the move is supported by groups like the End Violence Against Women Coalition.
