We’re teenage girls fighting to ban the use of school uniform in porn. Why have you left it up to us? | Rose, Mae, Aylin and Willow - 乐鱼·体育

No one should have to feel nervous about walking to school in clothes designed for children. It’s time for UK law to end the disgusting sexualisation of minors

In the Little Feminist Book Club, we don’t read a lot of books. The group, set up by former students at our school, is more about reading poems and articles, analysing song lyrics, discussing the issues that matter to us and, most importantly, campaigning.

Our current campaign – the one you might have heard of – is to ban school uniform from pornographic content. Simply put, we want to end the depiction of school uniform in pornography to ensure that minors are not viewed as anything other than what they are: children. We were shocked when we realised that this content is currently legal – most of the adults we’ve spoken to agree that it is wrong. But apparently it falls to us – students aged 14 and 15 – to take action.
