The VAWG Curriculum: Day 3
Why is it crucial to educate 16-19 year-olds on domestic abuse? Because they are more likely to be victims than any other age group.
Our Message: Relationship education cannot stop at 16. Today we are supporting
@MakeMandatory Make it Mandatory’s important campaign for it to continue.
Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) is only mandatory until age 16. After that, there’s no requirement for young people to receive continued education on healthy relationships, consent or coercive control – leaving them unprepared for university, romantic relationships and life after school.
Our Call to Action: Sign Make it Mandatory’s petition:
change.org/p/ask-the-governm…
‘This petition and campaign call on the government to extend and mandate RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) to KS5 students (sixth form and college students aged 16-18) as one step in a wider societal approach to preventing violence against women and girls.
Education can save lives and prevention is the most effective solution to the problem. Please sign this petition - to help protect all of Britain’s youth, as domestic abuse does not discriminate.’
