Sexism and sexual harassment in education is a national crisis. For too long, the sexual harassment and assault of girls and women learning and working in schools and colleges - and the wider culture of sexism that enables it - have been normalised and tolerated. A generational shift is required in how sexism and sexual harassment are addressed in education settings.
UK Feminista's 'System Change' report shows that one‑off workshops or RSE alone cannot fix the problem. Only a whole school approach - changing policies, practice and culture across every education setting - can deliver lasting change. It is a comprehensive, long-term approach involving all members of the school or college community.
Write to your MP using our quick, easy email tool and urge them to call on Government to stop sexism and sexual harassment in education through a whole school, system-wide approach.
