Shut It Down was born out of our own frustration and urgency. 


Both of us have seen how schools lack the tools, empathy, and language to confront misogyny effectively. We know the toll this takes - not just on young people, but on staff, parents, and the wider school community.

 

As practising teachers trusted by staff, students, and parents, every tool and framework is rooted in classroom reality. We understand the pressures staff face and the lived experience of students, so we can equip schools and organisations to replace cycles of harm with cultures of respect, empathy, and accountability.
