This article by Sophie King-Hill (published in The Conversation) arises from a 2023 report from the UK House of Commons Women and Equality Committee, suggesting that sexual harassment is rife in English schools – and overwhelmingly it’s boys harassing girls. The article says:
It is vitally important that we talk about misogyny with boys. The committee’s findings suggest that relationships and sex education at schools is not targeted enough to boys’ needs, and that they may not have a full understanding of what sexual harassment is. Boys may feel shut out of the conversation, leaving them feeling blamed but unable to contribute to solutions.
The article focuses on how parents can have an honest, two-way conversation with their sons about this difficult topic.
