To produce this briefing, which was co-funded by the Nuffield Foundation, POST’s in-house researchers undertook a review of the latest data and analysis on violence against women and girls (VAWG) in schools and among children and young people.
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) includes offences like rape, stalking, domestic abuse and technology-facilitated abuse.
POST’s research shows that this violence is also present in schools, where misogyny and harmful sexual behaviours can be visible, normalised and frequent.
For example, charity Beyond Equality worked with schools in Derbyshire to address gender-based violence.
And to do that, we must empower schools to provide relevant, targeted and evidenced approaches to tackle misogyny and VAWG.
