  • Oral Submission to the Justice Committee on the Harmful Digital Communications (Unauthorised Posting of Intimate Visual Recording) Amendment Bill 305-1
    Level 4, Central House 26 Brandon Street PO Box 25 498 Wellington 6146 + 64 4 473 7623 [email protected] www.ncwnz.org.nz 20 May 2021 S21.07 oral Oral submission to the Justice Committee on the Harmful Digital Communications (Unauthorised Posting of Intimate Visual Recording) Amendment Bill 305-1 Presenters: Sue Kedgley and Beryl Anderson Justice Committee Ginny Andersen (Chairperson), Labour; Vanushi Walters, Labour; Simon Bridges, National; Simeon Brown, National; Emily Henderson, Labour; Nicole McKee, ACT; Willow-Jean Prime, Labour; Nick Smith, National; Arena Williams, Labour. Introduction Kia ora Koutou Thank you for the opportunity to submit to you today on the Harmful Digital Communications (Unauthorised Posting of Intimate Visual Recording) Amendment bill. NCWNZ has a long-standing concern about the amount of internet-based violence and abuse that women are subjected to on a routine basis; the harm this causes to women and especially young women today; the lack of protections against this sort of abuse and the ability for perpetrators of on-line sexual abuse to do so with impunity. For all of these reasons, we strongly support this bill and its intention to make the posting of intimate images and recordings without consent illegal and punishable by up to three years in prison. The present law, where victims have to prove that a perpetrator deliberately sought to harm a victim, and the victim has to prove that they have suffered from serious emotional distress, makes it very difficult to bring about a prosecution, so we congratulate Louisa Wall for bringing this important bill to Parliament which will make it much easier to prosecute a perpetrator who cannot prove that he has the explicit consent of a person whose sexual image he is sharing on the internet.

  • What Happens When the Birds Are Sexting and the Bees Watch Pornography? Digital Sexualities, Sexuality Education and New Zealand Adolescents
    What happens when the birds are sexting and the bees watch pornography? Digital sexualities, sexuality education and New Zealand adolescents Nell O’Dwyer-Strang A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts Qualification University of Otago New Zealand 2017 Contents Dedication… 3 Acknowledgements… 4 Abstract… 5 Introduction… 6 Chapter One – The Current Realities and Criticisms of Sexuality Education in the New Zealand Classroom... 17 Chapter Two – Sex? Lies? and the Internet: Young People Navigating the Cyber Sexual Minefield… 32 Chapter Three – Prolificating Scandals and Dubious Monikers: ‘Roast Busters’, ‘Rack Appreciation’ and ‘Mates & Dates’… 53 Chapter Four – Now What?... 75 Conclusion… 89 References… 93 2 For all young people. It is not easy to be ‘the future’. 3 Acknowledgments With many thanks to my lovely supervisor Chris Brickell, a wonderful conversationalist. Also to my partner Kosta, who made many cups of coffee. Lastly thanks always to my mum, for her endless wisdom and bountiful garden. 4 Abstract The relationships between young people, technology and sexuality are highly contentious. We live in a digital age and young people are fully immersed. Increasingly, their communities are negotiated and formed in cyberspace. This historical moment is viewed as unprecedented, yet many persistent and historical structural inequalities permeate the digital sphere, framed as contemporary problems. This can be seen in cases such as the 2013 ‘Roast Busters’ scandal which I will consider in this thesis. The notion of young people in cyberspace has been considered and reconsidered by academics, the media and popular culture alike. Simplistic interpretations of complex realities have robbed many debates of the richness that they otherwise could have had.
