Teachers to receive training to address misogyny in schools

What happened: The UK government will provide extra training for teachers to tackle misogynistic behaviour among children as young as 11. This is part of a new strategy aimed at reducing violence against women and girls over the next decade.

Why it matters:

  • Early intervention may help prevent the spread of harmful attitudes among young people.
  • The strategy supports safer school environments and broader efforts to protect women and girls.

MNN Take: The government is investing in education and support services to challenge toxic ideas early and improve safety. This approach recognises the role schools play in shaping attitudes and behaviours.
