The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) removes online content from its “We Consent” campaign after criticism of an advert encouraging consent before grandparents hug their grandchildren. Justice Minister Jim O’ Callaghan says the video is counterproductive and demeaning toward grandparents, and the DRCC withdraws the criticised material from its online channels.
Coverage also notes that the withdrawal follows intervention from the Department of Justice. RTE reports the DRCC takes down three online videos linked to the campaign after public criticism focused on one advert. Across outlets, the Government framing centers on the message being inappropriate, while DRCC’s action is presented as a response to that criticism.
Different outlets vary in scope and emphasis: one focuses on the criticised single video and the involvement of the Justice Department; another highlights that multiple campaign videos are removed; and another frames the story around the ad’s reception and the minister’s response.
