Ms Emma Regan:

With regard to the educational campaign, I saw it primarily as working in schools so that it could reach young people, and boys and young men, when they are on the brink of forming sexual relationships and developing their ideas about that. There certainly could be a public awareness campaign at the same time, especially when the legislation is introduced, to educate the public about the law, the rationale behind it and what it means. That would tie in with an ideological perspective on equality and gender equality.
