The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, emphasized that toxic ideas, such as those promoted by the misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate, have a significant impact on young people, with over 40% of young men having a positive opinion of him. In this context, the government will unveil a package of measures worth £20 million, aimed at educating young people. This includes training teachers to discuss consent and the dangers of sharing intimate photos with students, as well as mandatory courses on healthy relationships for all secondary school students by 2029.
Additionally, a helpline will be established for teenagers who need help in relationships. These measures are part of the government's strategy to reduce domestic violence against girls and women by 50% over the next 10 years, with Starmer highlighting the importance of early intervention to protect future generations.
