Non-consensual sharing and subsequent victim blaming can be as a result of a number of harmful gender stereotypes, media influences and peer pressure. This lesson gives students an opportunity to analyse these influences, pressures and stereotypes and to develop strategies for promoting a culture of greater respect in online communications.
Students will have analysed how the media and gender stereotypes can contribute to the prevalence of non-consensual sexting and a culture of victim blaming. Students will develop strategies for tackling harmful peer pressure.
