Men who make money by making secret videos of women at night.

An investigation by the organization has found that men secretly film women’s nocturnal activities and then make money by posting the videos online. These videos, often called ‘walking tours’ or ‘nightlife content’, are published on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram. The content focuses entirely on women in party dresses and skirts. Many videos are filmed from behind or from low angles, occasionally revealing private parts of the body. We tracked down about 50 women who were filmed and found that many women were unaware of the incident. A 21-year-old woman, who was filmed from a low angle up her skirt, said she was so disturbed by the footage uploaded without her consent that she felt embarrassed every time she left the house. The organization has identified more than 65 online channels containing this type of content, whose videos have been viewed a total of more than three billion times in the past three years. The videos focus on spending the night in major cities around the world such as London, Oslo, Miami and Bangkok, but one of the most popular destinations is Manchester.
