Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Julie de Bailliencourt:

I was getting to this point. In the course of the work we have been doing on women's safety, we have spoken to many different groups in many countries to understand the unique challenges they face. Women in politics and the public eye are in a unique situation which requires unique tools that we have yet to build. I guarantee the Senator, however, that we are working on these. We are trying to understand how we would allow someone in the Senator's position to have a presence online without having to report absolutely everything by providing the tools that would mitigate the experience.
