“Over the last two and a half years I’ve been speaking out about my own personal experiences of online sexual harassment,” Atack said in a statement.

“Within that time, one thing has become clear, I’m not alone. With this documentary, I am hoping to find answers to the many questions I’ve been asking myself my entire life, and I hope it will go on to help thousands of others too. It’s been wonderful working with Little Gem and the BBC on a project that is so incredibly close to my heart.”

Catherine Catton, head of commissioning, factual entertainment and events, added: “We are delighted to have this important and timely film with Emily, looking at whether enough is being done to protect young women and girls online and exploring Emily’s own personal experiences. It’s an incredibly brave undertaking for her and we appreciate her honesty and openness. We have no doubt that the film will contribute to a very important conversation.”

Emily Atack: Sexual Harassment & Me will air on BBC Two and be available to stream via BBC iPlayer later this year.
