Training Overview:

Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We can see misogynistic behaviours being displayed by children from a young age, and whether these are learnt behaviours from home or online, schools can challenge these attitudes through a planned Primary PSHE curriculum. By challenging this behaviour we can help to end violence against women and girls, which is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation. The new DfE Statutory Guidance on Relationships, Sex and Health Education (2025) supports a strengthened approach to addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG) through the curriculum.
