"WHAT'S
IN A GAME?" |
An opportunity
for mothers to play the video games their sons and
daughters play, and assess the levels of violence,
particularly against women characters.
Because video games can both mirror and inspire reality;
because mothers need to be aware of the unintended
consequences of exposure to violence.

This
Initiative has been adapted from
Take
Back the Tech. |
