The recommendations I've made to this committee are also recommendations I've made with respect to discussions around online harms and the online harms bill. I think the short answer is that we don't do enough to address systemic misogyny and other intersecting forms of oppressions in this country. I think that is clear. It leaves women, from particular communities especially, exposed to not just online hate but also offline hate and violence.
I really commend the idea.... Dr. Davies' note is certainly consistent with the research that we've done with young people. To any extent that any of us have any inclination of thinking that offline and online are segregated spaces, that is just absolutely not the world that young people in particular are living in. I think in a COVID era, and even now, post-COVID, the same is true for adults.
I think we have to be doing a lot of thinking around violence underlying systems of oppressions generally, and not trying to focus on online as if it's somehow disconnected from the rest of the problems that we already have in the world. There is way more to be done, absolutely.
