Legislation to criminalize 'upskirting' passed Parliament on Tuesday, CNN reports.

Gina Martin launched the campaign to ban upskirting in 2017.

"After becoming a victim and recognizing the gap in the law, I.. partnered with Ryan Whelan, of Gibson Dunn and began 18 months of exhaustive, emotional and life changing work," she wrote. "I always thought politics was (impenetrable), but with the right help and the willpower you can do it!"

The legislation would give perpetrators up to 2 years in jail, and the possibility of landing on the sex offender registry.
