Advert showing grandparents hugging grandchildren is taken down amid criticism

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has removed social media videos from its We-Consent campaign following criticism of an advertisement showing a young girl uncomfortable receiving a hug from her grandparents. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan described the video as “inappropriate and demeaning” to grandparents, while the DRCC says the campaign aims to raise awareness of consent in Ireland. Aontú leader and Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín has criticised the campaign, questioning whether the messaging goes too far and whether the Government should be focusing its attention elsewhere. * * * Hosted on Acast.
