‘I want my daughter to be safe’: Starmer reveals personal mission to tackle violence against women and girls
Sir Keir Starmer has told of his own personal commitment to tackling violence against women in the hope that his young daughter and her friends feel safe.
The Labour leader told The Independent that schools and wider society must go further to tackle the attitudes and behaviour of young men and boys on consent and extreme online material.
Sir Keir said misogyny was the “root cause” of violence against women and girls and said tackling such views should be a “key part of school accountability”.
His comments slammed her own government for refusing to commit to a new sex education strategy for boys which aims to tackle sexual harassment and gender-based violence.
