If we want to eradicate VAWG, we must educate young people about misogynistic beliefs & harmful behaviours. Help them understand what is healthy and what is abusive. Let's put meaningful investment into prevention and talk to our young people now, don't wait for abuse to happen!

When discussing sibling sexual behavior and abuse (SSB/A), pornography is often overlooked. How does explicit content shape young minds? ATSA's latest blog dives into this complex issue, exploring its impact on consent and harmful sexual scripts.

I've written this report in response to the @educationgovuk DfE planning the best approach to bringing the voices of young people into the process of the RSHE guidance. It's commendable that the DfE is welcoming youth voice as an important in RSHE.

RSHE needs to be taken seriously: RSHE has to be on a par with other subjects so that it gains credibility.
Teacher/educator training: Educators in RSHE, whether from a school/college or an outside agency, have to be fully trained, knowledgeable and approachable.
