In a bold new step towards tackling toxic masculinity, schools across the UK are set to introduce anti-misogyny lessons.
This is as part of updated Relationships, Health, and Sex Education (RHSE) guidelines.
The initiative is expected to be implemented before the end of the academic year.
Also, it aims to teach boys about respect, gender equality, and the dangers of harmful attitudes towards women.
The move comes in response to the cultural impact of Adolescence, a Netflix drama.
The Netflix short series has sparked national conversations about gender violence and toxic male behaviour.
Furthermore, the show follows the chilling story of a teenage boy who murders a female classmate.
At the moment, the series have left many viewers disturbed and reflective.
This prompts discussions on the importance of addressing misogyny from an early age.
Even Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has weighed in on the matter.
Also, he reveals that he has been watching the series with his teenagers and fully supports the new educational initiative.
