Address systemic sexism by overhauling traditional boy-girl sex education.
A fortnightly curricular lesson in secondary school.
Greater education on menstruation and toxic masculinity.
Clearer definitions and reinforcement on what is sexual harassment, assault and rape.

Schools are the root of education, this is the best place to start addressing systemic issues.
97% of women have been sexually harassed. It’s not all men but a figure that high means that it’s definitely not a small minority of men.
Women wish they were taught more about their bodies in school.
I am a man who feels safe walking home.
