Criminalising of upskirting Nominated for an OBE by Boris Johnson (rejected) Gina Martin is a British gender equality activist, facilitator, author and speaker.

She is known for her case to make upskirting illegal in England and Wales, which resulted in the Voyeurism (Offences) Act 2019, as well as changing global Instagram policy with model Nyome Nicholas-Williams.

The petition received more than 100,000 signatures, and Martin began campaigning to change the law with pro-bono representation from associate lawyer Ryan Whelan of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP.

[11] In response, The Ministry of Justice backed the anti-upskirting campaign by tabling a Government bill that was eventually approved by the House of Lords in February 2019 and the Voyeurism (Offences) Act 2019 came into force in April the same year.

[12][13] Martin has written for Grazia, The World Economic Forum, The Guardian, Glamour, and The Daily Telegraph,[14] and Vogue and in June 2019 published a book on activism titled Be the Change: A Toolkit for the Activist in You.
