She had just turned 18, which I assume is around the target audience for these videos - they obviously aren't aimed at middle-aged people who have already had a lifetime's involvement whether in the development industry and/or in the women's movement. She was the first to say she felt the message was a bit simplistic and had sent in some feedback. So if the target audience is not swallowing it uncritically but engaging with and discussing issues they might otherwise have waited for years to tumble to, or never done so, isn't that a good thing?
