What we're up against.
Locker-room culture.
Misogyny thrives online, in schools, sporting academies, and many businesses. Unchecked, it can lead to huge problems for institutions and society.
Results and attendance.
Boys under perform girls in every aspect of schooling and require significant meaningful effort to effectively support - there is no road map for this.
Inconsistency.
A playground punch-up has quite clear guidelines for how to deal with it, whereas misogynistic incidents are often treated as a ‘grey area' .
