Catch Up with Louise McSharry

Today's guest is Eoghan Cleary. Eoghan is a teacher, writer and youth advocate as well as a researcher and educator with the Sexual Exploitation Research and Policy Institute. Eoghan and I discuss the challenges we face as a society when it comes to gender based violence, including sexual violence, and how the environment young people are growing up in is creating said challenges. Eoghan's research and experience means he's perfectly place to not only reflect on the reality facing young people and parents today, but also advise on how we can make things better.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.
