Professor Clare McGlynn KC (Hon)

Law Professor . Advisor . Commentator .

I am a Professor of Law at Durham University in the UK with expertise in the legal regulation of sexual violence, pornography and online abuse, particularly cyberflashing and image-based sexual abuse (taking, creating and sharing intimate images without consent).

 

I work closely with policy-makers, victim-survivors and the voluntary sector to shape law and policy reforms, as well as with social media and other companies to improve their policies. In 2020, I was appointed an Honorary KC (King’s Counsel) in recognition of my work championing women’s equality in the legal profession and shaping new criminal laws on extreme pornography and image-based sexual abuse.
