Children as young as 11 will face mandatory anti-misogyny classes under a daring new Government crackdown targeting toxic male attitudes fuelled by figures like Andrew Tate.
£20 Million Drive Targets Boys with Dangerous Views
The Government is splashing £20 million on specialist teacher training aimed at spotting boys showing worrying behaviour towards women and girls. Secondary pupils caught displaying harmful attitudes in family or relationship settings will be sent on tough behaviour change programmes.
Andrew Tate’s Dark Online Influence Under Fire
Jess Phillips, Minister for Violence Against Women and Girls, warned that perpetrators are getting younger — thanks in part to unfiltered access to controversial influencers such as Andrew Tate. “Young men found Tate online, who didn’t have their best interests at heart,” she told Sky News.
“We have got to talk to young men about the things that they are seeing.”
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan currently face serious allegations including rape, sex with a minor, human trafficking, and money laundering — all denied by the pair.
Research reveals a shocking 40% of young men view sexist figures like Tate favourably, stoking fears of entrenched misogyny in Britain’s youth.
Starmer Backs Tough New Measures
Prime Minister Keir Starmer fully supports the crackdown, urging parents to trust that schools and the internet will be safer places for girls. “Toxic ideas are taking hold early and going unchallenged,” he said.
“This Government is stepping in sooner — backing teachers, calling out misogyny, and intervening when warning signs appear — to stop harm before it starts.”
Big Push to Cut Violence and Support Survivors
- Aims to halve violence against women and girls through early education and intervention.
- Every police force to get specialist investigators for rape and serious sexual offences.
- £19 million funding boost for councils to provide safe housing for domestic abuse victims.
- Mandatory school lessons on consent and dismantling harmful attitudes.
While some brand the initiative government overreach into family life, supporters say early action is crucial to curb abuse before it even starts.
