📚 Education is a powerful tool, school should be a safe place to learn, and every child has the right to do so without fear, bullying or harassment. On this International Day of Education, we would like to revisit our blogpost on sexual harassment and the need for a whole school response. Not too long ago an Ofsted review highlighted the normalisation of sexual harassment in schools. It's crucial to break the silence and create a culture of awareness and respect. Our MENgage and EmpowHER programs contribute to this shift by addressing the root issues and fostering understanding among students, encouraging them to challenge gender norms and learn about healthy relationships.
