“There will always be misogynistic extremists online… We need education to equip young people to be critical of information before forming an opinion. The internet is not static, it’s mouldable - we can change it.” Linda, Action Breaks Silence Advisory Board Member
Dr Natasha Hirst President of the National Union of Journalists - "Sensitive and ethical reporting on violence against women and girls is vital for dismantling harmful and misogynistic narratives and misinformation. How we report shapes attitudes and has real-life consequences for the safety of women and girls. Through responsible reporting, we can create the positive societal change we all deserve."
