Child Sexual Abuse > Royalty speaking up for children abused online - Harry and Meghan; King Willem-Alexander of NL

 

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle call for more child protection on social media


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are campaigning for stronger protections on social media and warning of the threat it poses to children and young users.


The royal couple unveiled a memorial in New York City on Thursday dedicated to children whose parents and loved ones believe their kids’ interactions online led to their deaths.

“We want to make sure that things are changed so that… no more kids are lost to social media,” Prince Harry told BBC Breakfast in New York.

“Life is better off social media,” he continued, adding that he was “grateful” that his children were still too young to be online.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share two children: a son, Archie, 5, and a daughter, Lilibet, 3.

The Duke of Sussex urged parents to keep their kids off social media during the event, which was hosted by the Archewell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess’s

“The sad reality is the kids who aren’t on social media normally get bullied at school because they can’t be part of the same conversation as everybody else,” he continued.


The installation, entitled The Lost Screen Memorial, is comprised of 50 illuminated lightboxes that resemble smartphone screens, with each displaying a lock screen photo of a child whose life was cut short due to harmful online experiences.

“This tribute builds on over four years of work by the Duke and Duchess in the digital safety space, reflecting their continued commitment to creating a safer digital world,” the non-profit’s website says.

The memorial provides insight into each child’s story and includes recorded messages from their families.




Half of female students have experienced sexual misconduct at university

Boring instructor?

Many female students at universities are victims of sexually transgressive behavior. About 52 percent of them said that they have experienced this in the past twelve months. It involves physical violence, dirty comments, and online harassment, among other things.

So, over 4 years of college, you are probably looking at 75% or more female victims. That's pretty disgusting!

Statistics Netherlands (CBS) investigated this for Mariëtte Hamer, the government commissioner against sexually transgressive behavior and sexual violence. The results were presented on Thursday at a special meeting at Leiden University. King Willem-Alexander also attended.

According to the research, one in five male students falls victim to sexual misconduct.

According to King Willem-Alexander, sexually transgressive behavior was not visible during his student days in Leiden. Willem-Alexander said that “it did not happen in my time. Or it did happen, of course, but you did not see it, it wasn’t talked about.” The King studied in Leiden between 1987 and 1993.

It definitely did happen, but a lot less because you predate social media, and because you were the Crown Prince and not likely to associate with the kind of jerks who do that sort of thing.

Willem-Alexander spoke with student organizations and representatives of Dutch student life about their efforts in tackling sexually transgressive behavior. University representatives explained which networks currently exist for reporting inappropriate behavior. 


Here's an idea, Your Highness: Offer a modest fund to start up 'in-person' discussion groups in the colleges with the goal of inventing strategies for dealing with this problem. Reward the group with the best ideas that have been tested and worked. Worth thinking about?
