'Labour is considering plans to roll out education for young boys on violence against women and girls (VAWG) in an effort to tackle the epidemic.

Keir Starmer believes “prevention” is extremely important and will play a crucial role in ensuring his party achieves its mission to halve VAWG within a decade.

The actor Emily Atack and the Love Island star Georgia Harrison, who also spoke at the event, praised Starmer for his mission and urged the party to ensure more professionals are able to educate young men in schools on different forms of abuse.

“We must look at toxic masculinity, which is a huge issue, take the blame off the victim, stop the victim blaming and actually focus on the perpetrators,” Atack said, adding that she believed the best way to tackle this was to introduce more experts into the education system.'
