Feminism: Why I'm campaigning for UK schools to teach boys and girls all about it

Articl here. Excerpt:

'Now aged 14, this thought process led me to start a petition, “A In Equality”, because I think that feminism should be on the PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) curriculum in all schools. In order to achieve equality on every front, we need to start by educating the future generation on the rights that will affect every single person every single day.

If gender equality is formally put on the curriculum, it may not eradicate the major feminist issues in our society today, but it may, in the longer term, have a positive impact on attitudes towards feminism, and its importance in daily life.

PSHE covers lots of difficult subjects - such as mental health and bullying - which is why I believe it would also be a perfect place to learn about gender equality for both girls and boys.'
