Young people need more support coping with online sexual harms

Retrieved on:

Monday, August 7, 2023

While that increased connectivity brings many benefits, it can also open youth up to online harm and abuse.

Key Points:

While that increased connectivity brings many benefits, it can also open youth up to online harm and abuse.
It is important that meaningful supports are in place to protect young people from sexual harm.
Fifty-eight per cent of participants reported having personally experienced some form of online harassment, including sexual harassment.

We need to use the right words

Our research shows that terms like “cyberbullying” no longer capture the scope of harms young people experience in digital spaces.
These digital harms can include receiving unsolicited explicit images, sexual harassment, exploitative sexual extortion and non-consensual distribution of intimate images.
This is the first research project in Canada to specifically examine technology-facilitated sexual violence among young people aged 13-18 years old.

Lack of Canadian research

Although there is a growing amount of Canadian research on technology-facilitated sexual violence, most research on this topic has been conducted in countries like the United States or Australia.
Specifically, there is little research on what young people in Canada are experiencing online, what terminology we should use to identify these harms and what supports young people find effective.

Consistent and accessible support

However, young people still receive confusing messages about how these laws apply to them and which sexual behaviours are harmful.
In reality, many are looking for various forms of support from schools, friends, family, non-profit organizations and victim-service organizations.
In some regions, there is minimal or even no language related specifically to technology-facilitated sexual violence in the curricula and policies.
With technology being a consistent part of young people’s lives, it is key that school policies and curricula are updated to address the realities of young people’s increasingly digitized relationships.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart brings melodrama and Sigourney Weaver as a flower-obsessed matriarch to streaming

Wednesday, August 2, 2023

Oscillating between pathos and action, this is the dominant mode of popular American cinema (and culture more broadly).

Key Points:

Oscillating between pathos and action, this is the dominant mode of popular American cinema (and culture more broadly).
She’s right – but then there’s melodrama and Melodrama, the kind that makes us think of soap operas and damsels tied to train tracks.

All is not as it may seem

June, who has a complex history with abuse herself, has set up the farm – which cultivates flowers – as a refuge for desperate women.
We also see, early on, that while June appears to be a strong and compassionate woman, she’s also someone who demands things go her way.
Based on her knowledge of floriculture, she secures a job as a park ranger apparently on the look out for flower poachers (!).

Effectively rendered

All of the elements of Lost Flowers are effectively rendered.
Alyla Brown as Young Alice manages to combine vulnerability, enthusiasm and naivety in a way that perfectly captures the effects of her circumstances on her development.
Alycia Debnam-Carey is similarly effective playing the older Alice and, as usual, is a delight to watch.

Pop fiction

It’s a sentimental but sufficiently distracting diversion – and isn’t this what TV is all about?
There’s nothing “deep” about it – like its source novel, it’s pop fiction – but why should there be?
