The bill passed by a large majority in the parliament after it was reported that upskirting was becoming a trend in France especially on trains and buses.
Lack of response (investigative or arrest) by the police further strength the bill in the house as victims alleged some of the perpetrators go as far as posting videos and snaps online for views.
Olivier Slosse, a Brussels police spokesman, asked for more women to report upskirting or voyeurism saying:
"We only get about 20 complaints a year for this kind of voyeurism."
"It's important for the victims to come forward because they are the victims of an illegal act and it's important for us because these crimes are under-reported."A proposed law to ban upskirting was blocked in the UK by Christopher Chope, a senior Tory MP. Prime Minister Theresa May has since revealed plans to push the law through.
