The recent arrest of Andrew Tate made many aware of the controversial media personality and self-proclaimed misogynist for the first time. But Tate, and other internet figures promoting misogynistic values, have been circulating on the internet for some time, gaining popularity on TikTok, Twitter and Youtube. Among those drawn to Tate are children and young people, according to schools across the country.

Many schools are giving teachers training on how to talk to students about Tate and misogyny, while others are hosting assemblies or using personal social and health education lessons to encourage students to question the content such influencers put out.

We want to hear from parents, teachers and young people over the age of 18 about misogyny in schools and what is being done to educate young people on figures like Tate, and to counteract their misogynistic messages. Does it seem to be effective or could more be done?
