The Family Violence clearinghouse has released a new report concerning sexual abuse and relationships in adolescents. The report covers how violence and abuse in adolescents are disproportionately unreported, and how education concerning gender norms can help to combat this issue. Wire producer Lucy Austin spoke with author of the report, Otago University's Dr Melanie Beres from, who began by telling us about what exactly the report covers.
