Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy

Contribution

In her Statement in the other place announcing the strategy before Christmas, the Safeguarding Minister highlighted the corrosive influence of online content that acts as a driver of violence against women and girls, stating that access by children to such harmful content should be made as difficult as possible in the UK. She is of course correct. One way of doing this would be to curb children’s access to social media. Does the Minister accept that this provides yet another reason why the Government should take action to ban social media for under-16s?
