“Hello there! I’m here to provide you with a bit of information on what non-consensual voyeurism is, its various facets, and the Indian laws relevant to this abuse. Experiencing abuse in any form is NOT OKAY, but what you are experiencing as a result of abuse is valid. What you, as a bystander, are going through while supporting a survivor is absolutely okay and typical too!  If you need additional resources or just someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to Imaara Foundation."

What is Non-Consensual Voyeurism?

Non-consensual voyeurism involves the act of observing or recording individuals without their consent in private settings where they expect privacy, such as homes, restrooms, or changing rooms. This violation often involves the use of hidden cameras, mirrors, or other covert means to capture images or videos of unsuspecting survivors, which are sometimes distributed or used to harass or blackmail the survivors (National Crime Records Bureau [NCRB], 2022).
