Violent Pornography Showing Strangulation to Be Banned

- The ban is part of a broader strategy to reduce violence against women, supported by evidence of non-consensual choking incidents and calls for tighter porn industry regulation.
- Minister Alex Davies-Jones emphasized that addressing the increase in strangulation pornography is essential to safeguarding women and demonstrating that misogynistic behavior is unacceptable.
- The measures call for tighter regulation of online content and support the government’s ambitious goal to significantly reduce violence against women and girls by targeting harmful sexual conduct.
