I will be brief. It is almost on a positive frame piece. When we look to what the citizens wanted, that relates to dealing with violence but also, and ultimately, to inequality and equality of participation. Do our guests wish to comment on that? It is very relevant for the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, which has a new development plan. The idea of public spaces and the right to participate in the city is an important part of that. In the context of education, it is not just dealing with stereotypes and countering violence, but also embracing the idea of positive consent, positive sexuality and full and equal participation in all aspects of life. We want to kind of get rid of this violence to get to this point of equal participation. I was struck by the UN line that it is both a consequence and a cause of gender inequality and, if we want to get to gender equality, the link in that regard.
