Schools are reporting growing misogyny from pupils towards teachers and a lack of avenues to seek help about sexually aggressive behaviour, the safeguarding minister, Jess Phillips, has said.
Phillips’ comments came as the government was due to launch its long-awaited violence against women and girls strategy. Children as young as 11 who demonstrate misogynistic behaviour will be taught the difference between pornography and real relationships, as part of a multimillion-pound investment to try to tackle misogyny in England’s schools.
