Mini Law School: DIY Digital Safety – Young People's Sexual Safety Online
Join us for a series of engaging public lectures that will give you a taste of what a legal education is all about.
This session will be hosted by Schulich Law Assistant Professor Suzie Dunn, acting director of the Law & Technology Institute.
About the topic:
In today’s digital world, young people face unique challenges when it comes to managing their sexuality and sexual experiences online.
It can be hard for them to find reliable guidance and support when dealing with online harms, like technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV). TFSV is an umbrella term that includes harmful practices like sexual name-calling, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, online harassment, up-skirting, cyberstalking, and doxing. TFSV is an urgent concern in Canada and around the world.
Digitally Informed Youth (DIY): Digital Safety aims to understand the educational, policy, and legal issues with TFSV across Canada and create resources that empower young people and help them stay safe online and in person.
This session will discuss some of the preliminary results from this study to date, including information from interviews and surveys conducted with youth across Canada.
