Demand schools to educate children about rape.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To demand secondary schools to educate children, especially boys about rape. About how it is NOT OKAY and how we can prevent our urges from harassing someone.
To make a safer world for children, to educate children. This will lower the rape crimes, this will lower the women who are murdered, this will help save people’s lives.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government's new Relationships and Sex Education curriculum, which is mandatory in all state schools from this year, requires that students are now taught about key aspects of the law relating to sex, which include the age of consent, what consent is and is not, the definitions and recognition of rape, sexual assault and harassment, and that sexual violence and sexual harassment are not acceptable: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education/relationships-and-sex-education-rse-secondary
