After Work Drinks
Taking On The Government, And Winning With Gina Martin
Hello angels! Welcome to another episode of After Work Drinks With… This week we’re so thrilled to be talking to activist and author Gina Martin. Gina is best known for single-handedly making upskirting illegal in the UK (!) Following a horrific encounter at a music festival, Gina was told by police that they couldn’t do anything to help her because what had happened to her wasn’t technically a crime. First she cried, then she took things into her own hands. She launched a national social media campaign, got a lawyer, took on the British government and, in 2019, she WON. Her story will 100% be made into a movie some day. We chat to Gina about internalised victim blaming, imposter syndrome, and the draining reality of being a young woman who takes up space on the internet. We bloody loved having this conversation and you will love it too.
