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 tackle misogyny in England’s schools, the Guardian understands.
On the eve of the government publishing its long-awaited strategy to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade, David Lammy told the Guardian that the battle “begins with how we raise our boys”, adding that toxic masculinity and keeping girls and women safe were “bound together”.
As part of the government’s flagship strategy, which was initially expected in the spring, teachers will be able to send young people at risk of causing harm on behavioural courses, and will be trained to intervene if they witness disturbing or worrying behaviour.
I’d like to know, what’s your opinion on banning social media for minors?
I used to be all against it but now i see the point in it. It should be done at the device-level though, not website’s responsibility.
I agree with that.
I think parents should be responsible for keeping an eye on what their kids are doing online. There are already a myriad of tools available to facilitate that. The government doesn’t need to be involved and sites certainly shouldn’t be collecting IDs from people unless absolutely necessary for some business/official reason to know who that person is.
If we could leave it up to them then we wouldn’t have any kids on social media. Having this conversation proves it’s not able to be left up to the parents.
But device locks already exist as you said, the proposal is to have them on by default.
