Her organization has collected thousands of anonymous testimonies from women and girls describing various forms of abuse they experienced at school, with 1,600 incidents occurring in elementary schools. Sara argues that banning social media for under-16s, like Australia did last year, is not a practical solution and instead advocates for education programs to help children critically evaluate the pornography and misogynistic content they're exposed to. She emphasizes the need for parents to be digitally literate to understand the apps their children are using, such as Snapchat and TikTok.
