“It’s not actually lack of information, it’s an overload of information. There’s so much information going out and it’s hard to keep track of which one is authentic and which one is not… If girls can have, if everyone actually, can have a medium of getting authentic information – I don’t know if that’s possible because every day you hear this and that on social media on the radio on the TV, there’s always news and it can get really overwhelming sometimes.”
