💡 Call It Out – Misogyny, Sexual Harassment & Respectful Behaviours

Misogyny and sexual harassment are growing concerns in UK schools, with over 75% of teachers reporting misogyny as a major classroom issue. Harmful online content and peer “banter” often normalise disrespect, leaving young people unsure how to challenge it.

Our Call It Out sessions are powerful, interactive, and face‑to‑face. They create safe spaces where young men can openly discuss stigma, reflect on everyday behaviours, and learn practical strategies to challenge harmful attitudes. Through guided discussion, role‑play, and peer reflection, students explore how language, jokes, and online pressures can escalate into harassment—and how respect, empathy, and consent can change the culture.

💬 One 14‑year‑old student shared:

“This session made me stop and think about how I treat girls, and now I try to act differently.”

By equipping young men to challenge stigma and behaviours, we empower them to build respectful, inclusive communities.

A huge thank you to the Community Cash Back Fund via the Community Foundation for Merseyside for supporting our work. Thanks to this funding, we’ve now received our new flyers, co-developed with the young people who took part in our education workshops.

These flyers are designed to raise awareness and spark conversations about misogyny, helping us continue empowering young people to challenge harmful attitudes and create positive change in our community. Respect is powerful. Small changes can spark big changes.

If you would like to hear more about how we can work with your students to raise awareness of mysogny sexual harrassment, respectful behaviours and positive communication, please reach out! [email protected]
