Make the education of sexual consent, assault & rape compulsory in junior school

Petition Details

Make it a mandatory part of the primary curriculum to teach children in Year 6 on sexual consent, the right to say no, who to speak to and what to do if you have been sexually assaulted or raped, and the legal and criminal consequences of sexual assault and rape.

Additional Information

97% of women have been sexually harassed at some point in their life.
The CSEW reported that the majority of sexual abuse victims did not tell anyone about their abuse at the time, with “embarrassment” being the most common reason.

We are failing our children by not teaching them more earlier.

Girls should not have to walk with keys in hand, fake talking on the phone, terrified that this is it because of the man walking behind them.
We must teach our children. We must do more to stop this.
