As reported by the BBC, London’s mayor launches a £1m programme to teach primary school children about healthy relationships and combat harmful influences like Andrew Tate
The mayor of London has written to every primary school in London asking them to help counter the “pernicious influence” of misogynists such as Andrew Tate.
City Hall has funded a £1m programme to help educate children about healthy and respectful relationships as part of efforts to reduce violence against women and girls (VAWG).
It follows a similar scheme for secondary schools and comes amid fears children as young as nine may be being regularly exposed to misogynistic content online.
Working with the educational charity Tender, the mayor’s office has produced online courses to help teachers run classes, workshops, drama and interactive sessions for children aged nine to 11.
It is aimed at helping youngsters to confidently recognise harmful or controlling behaviour, as well as call out sexism and inequality in their peer groups.
“It’s never too early to start educating young Londoners about the need to treat one another fairly and kindly,” the mayor said.
