Sexual harassment of girls is a scourge at schools in England, say MPs

'Sexual harassment of girls is “a scourge” in England’s schools, according to MPs, who have called for a government-led strategy to focus on boys who are failing to engage with relationship and sex education.

MPs on the women and equalities committee said in a report that there should be training for all teachers to help them hold conversations with boys and young men about sexual harassment and gender-based violence, in a way that challenges prevailing gender norms and ideas of masculinity.

They have also called for relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) to be compulsory up to the age of 18 in sixth forms and colleges, warning that without it young people take their first steps in the adult world “undersupported and less equipped to navigate potentially harmful and dangerous situations”.'
