Ms Annie Sheppard:

Our school community has been amazing and has completed numerous surveys for us, which gave us an idea of the scale of the issue. In our most recent school survey, which got more than 700 responses, 76% of our school felt that this law should be introduced in Ireland. Only 10% of respondents said that they never compared themselves with images online. Traditionally, this would have been seen as a problem that predominantly affected young girls, but our research indicated that this issue was affecting boys at an increasing rate.
