The BBC said she will “open up” about things that have happened in her life and her experiences of attracting unwanted sexual attention from a very young age.”
Emily has been an ardent campaigner against cyberflashing, and helped ensure it would become an official illegal offence under the Online Safety Bill.
She spoke passionately in Parliament about proposed changes.
Emily described the forthcoming documentary as a project that is “incredibly close” to her heart.
She said: “Over the last two and a half years I’ve been speaking out about my own personal experiences of online sexual harassment. Within that time, one thing has become clear, I’m not alone.”
Emily told The Sun on Sunday in April how she had to call police over one online stalker turning up at her home.
She said at the time: “I’ve had people commenting on my body, my face, my hair, calling me fat, an untalented piece of s***, annoying, whatever, my whole life.
“I’ve developed quite a thick skin. But when I started getting actual rape threats, and felt my safety was in jeopardy, it became too much. I get videos of men self-pleasuring, awful photos of things I can’t describe, every day.
“I have this one guy who constantly abuses me and every time I block him, he creates a new account.
“He’s relentless and disgusting, beyond anything you can imagine. Yet he says he’s a married man with children.”
