Many people in the world are inspirations depending on your life at the time. I would love to work with Lucy, who has a legal training background and is empowered for the growth of women's footballs and female rights. Expect London always to be blue, not red. If you want an unsung hero in the fight for female injustice who uses their platform in a women's magazine like Lucy does in Glamour, not just to say what she wants to change but to make it happen.
From Westminster to award recognising article on the women's World Cup content series in partnership with versus to parliament with combating deepfake pornography and violence against women. Your work aligns perfectly with Glamour’s mission. Her main focus this year surrounds the new landmark UK law making the creation of sexually explicit deep fake pornography a criminal offence in England and Wales in collaboration with the End Violence against Women coalition with Not Your Porn and Professor Clare McGlynn to advocate for a comprehensive image-based abuse law. Their campaign urges the next government to take action, highlighting the increasing risk to women from deepfakes and other forms of abuse.Lucy's recent article, "It's Not Just Taylor Swift — ALL Women Are at Risk from the Rise of Deepfakes," discusses how this technology disproportionately targets women. Morgan, like myself, has a law qualification and uses that as an asset to help navigate the complicated world of legislation and politics. I am inspired to use my three-year undergraduate degree in Law to support women and hope to make a difference.
This has been a long-standing campaign with GLAMOUR UK, and the editor has been working on discussing the impact of deep fake technology on both public figures and everyday women. This came to light in the media in January 2024, when Taylor Swift was used in pornographic deepfake imaging circulated on social media, with the images not getting the singer's consent. Still, they also reportedly depicted her being saluted in non-consensual sexual acts.
In May 2024, Channel 4 news analysis found nearly 4000 celebrities were listed on the most-visited deepfake websites. Victims of such crimes like lecturer Helen Mort It was profoundly unsettling and disturbing,” she tells GLAMOUR. “I felt unsafe.” Morgan has taken her role at Glamour to advocate for women as a purpose editor and Deputy Website Editor. She began as a freelance contributor in May 2021 and assumed her current role in August 2022. She was working with the Violence Against Women Coalition in highlighting the harm of sexually explicit deepfakes on victims and the profound impact it has on all aspects of their lives – from their well-being and mental health to relationships, employment and ability to take part in public life. The Ministry of Justice has today (16th April 2024) announced that individuals who create sexually explicit deepfakes will face prosecution under a new criminal offence being introduced. This is a significant step forward, but it is due to the general election.
Another critical voice in this movement is model Ellie Goldstein, who shared an inspiring message about the first Barbie doll with Down syndrome, promoting diversity and empowerment.
Lucy also addressed the troubling issue of male violence against women in her latest piece, asking, "WHY Aren't All Men Horrified by the Rise in Male Violence Against Women?" In an exclusive update to GLAMOUR, Jess Phillips, the Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women & Girls, shared the latest government efforts in this area.
Lucy has gained recognition for her advocacy. In 2023, she was acknowledged at the PPA Next Gen Awards and her report on domestic violence was highly commended at the Write to End Violence Against Women Awards. Her Women's World Cup content series with VERSUS was also shortlisted for ‘Best Fan Engagement’ at the Women's Football Awards.
Lucy's journalism has been featured in top publications, including Cosmopolitan, Grazia, and Elle. International brands like Vogue, GQ, and Teen Vogue have syndicated her work.
Lucy Morgan continues to amplify women's voices in critical discussions on “One Pitch” podcast. She attended the Women's Health Summit, which centres on women's healthcare policy in the UK, advocating for ongoing women's empowerment, health, and safety.
As part of her editorial work, Lucy ensures that content aligns with Glamour's commitment to addressing women's concerns. For example, she once declined to use a generalist male doctor for a gynaecological health article, recognising the need for the right expertise and representation in such topics.
Through her work, Lucy continues to push for a safer, more inclusive society for women. You should follow Morgan's work on Glamour Digital, support the world she is creating, and back the legislation.
