Teach about consent and sexual harassment more thoroughly in secondary schools

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Woman all over the world are still being treated unfairly and fear for their safety on a daily basis. If schools taught the impact of sexual harassment it would help educate young people before they acted out these behaviours.

97% of woman have been sexually harassed in the UK. These harassment's include unconsented touching, inappropriate sexual comments and wolf whistling to name a few. Woman have to deal with this when at school, work, in bars and walking down the street. This issue needs to be dealt with. I believe that by educating young people on the the harm this can have and the repercussions they can face, it will help to reduce the high percentage of victims.
