I'd just like to point out the one statistic we mentioned in our submission, which was that young women in the United Kingdom who are under the age of consent are six times more likely to say that they are too afraid of being too young to seek help for sexual health information and education. I think that's proof right there that young people under an increased age of consent will be less likely to seek out help.
