WE NEED not just legislation but a cultural revolution in Britain to deliver on Labour’s mission to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) within a decade, experts told a packed fringe meeting in Liverpool today.
End Violence Against Women Coalition director Andrea Simon warned that “we have a crisis of abuse of children by children,” driven by boys’ consumption of internet pornography.
She highlighted a survey by charity Equally Ours published earlier this year, which found young people have a poorer understanding of rape and consent than older generations.
