Time to stop sexual harassment in schools and colleges - it’s not a joke
We need to do more to promote the education and rights of women and girls and take robust and effective action against sexism and harassment, writes DR MARY BOUSTED

IN MARCH 2021, a website, Everyone’s Invited, exposed the shocking and widespread nature of sexual harassment in schools and colleges across Britain.  

Since then, thousands of young women and girls have spoken out about their experiences of sexual harassment in schools, colleges and universities and demanded change.  

To date, over 50,000 testimonies from survivors of abuse have been posted on the website, with numbers increasing all the time.
