Alcohol is the biggest “date-rape” drug in Ireland, and young people need to be educated about this at secondary school, a seminar in Galway has heard.
An effective awareness campaign for 14- to 18-year-olds could prevent young people making a “serious error of judgment” which would have a long-term impact on their lives, Stacey Scriver Furlong of the NUI Galway Global Women’s Studies programme said.
Ms Scriver Furlong was addressing the issue of youth, alcohol and rape in Ireland at a round-table discussion yesterday hosted by the NUIG programme.
