Background
I am asking Parliament to make education on misogyny and gender-based violence mandatory in all schools from primary to secondary level. Prevention must start early. Without education, harmful stereotypes and abusive behaviour can go unchallenged and become normalised. I believe teaching children about respect, equality, and consent will help reduce violence, protect young people, and build a society where everyone can live free from fear.
