STOP SEXUAL BULLYING IN SCHOOLS

Sexual Bullying in UK Schools

The sexual bullying campaign is part of the WOMANKIND 'Challenging Violence, Changing Lives' programme. We work with young people and teachers to identify sexual bullying in the school environment, define it in the school policies, raise awareness across the school and work on preventative strategies to stop it. We are developing whole-school strategies and resources to stop it. We believe that if schools do not challenge sexual bullying, they are acting as a training ground for violence against women later in life.

WOMANKIND's definition

It is really important that schools and young people are able to identify and define sexual bullying. We have worked with schools across the UK to define sexual bullying.

"Groping, grabbing, insults e.g. swear words, stereotypical gender roles, when appearance and sexuality are demonised." Young woman, School in Haringey, London
