Schools struggling to deal with sexual violence

Testimonies from 300 students show victims of sexual assaults are not being protected adequately by their schools. Respondents to a call for sharing their experiences around sexual assault at school shared examples of sexual harassment, blackmail, rape and pack assault. The report is authored by Genna Hawkins-Boulton, the founder of Let's Talk Consent, and finds schools are struggling to provide a safe environment for victims who often find themselves in the same rooms as their perpetrators. The report recommends more training so staff can better support victims, revising guidelines so there is a zero-tolerance approach to sexual violence and making consent-based education compulsory.
