The junior justice Minister is urging people to ‘break the chain of sharing intimate images’.
The department has launched a new campaign highlighting the impact sharing such images has on victims.
Coco’s Law, signed in February, made the practice illegal, with a penalty of up to 7 years in prison.
Junior minister Hildegarde Naughton says there will be online tools for second level students to learn about image-based sexual abuse.
“There’s an online platform called Webwise which will raise awareness around issues like this.
“There’s going to be a module on Coco’s Law for third year to fifth year students in second level education.
“I think it’s really important to get that message out earlier.”
