British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday launched a new strategy that will involve schoolboys being taught respect for women and girls, through a focus on healthy relationships based on consent and tackling abuse with a new helpline.
The plans tabled in Parliament will focus on prevention and tackling the root causes of abuse as official statistics show that nearly 40 per cent of teenagers in relationships are victims of abuse.
Amid growing support for toxic social media influencers, the government said it is acting to steer boys away from harmful misogynistic or anti-women influences.
