Ms Saoirse Exton:

Media has a massive role to play, especially in our age of information, because that is where many young people like me go. Instagram is where I get much of my information from on issues such as consent and period products. Social media is a tool. Obviously, it can be harmful. It is intensely powerful and we must recognise that, "With this power," to quote Spiderman, "comes great responsibility."

I am not sure about a moratorium purely because, as someone who is quite passionate about a variety of issues, regardless of whether I engage with media, it is still something that is constantly in my mind and I am sure that is the same for many young people. In terms of media such as television shows, movies and providers such as Netflix that young people engage with so much, but also in terms of the actual media, it is important that there are messages of body positivity and that there are messages destigmatising issues such as sex education and periods, thereby using these words that should be normalised and destigmatising everything. Media has this incredible power and potential. At present perhaps that potential is not being used in the best way. Unfortunately, it can be destructive to mental health.
