Domestic and Sexual Violence: Discussion
11:40 am
Ms Rita Harling:
Yes, it is something we are very interested in doing. This needs to be addressed with young boys at an early age, and young girls too. Both sexes should know it is wrong. We have to consider that some of these children are seeing this in their homes, so it has to be dealt with as delicately as possible. We did an interview yesterday with DCU and we are giving a talk in UCD in September to educate younger groups that domestic violence in the home is actually a crime.
