Young boys should be taught what behaviour is unacceptable and about the consequences of sharing images on social media as part of a whole-society approach to end misogyny, a senior police officer has said.
Maggie Blyth, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for violence against women and girls, said that primary schools must teach children about the repercussions of 'unchecked' behaviour online and the presence of potential predators.
She said she thought there was much more to be done at school in order to teach boys about the consequences of misogynistic behaviour.
'The exacerbated risk around Instagram and Snapchat, where behaviour goes on online that is unchecked — sharing of images, pornography, misogyny,' she told The Times.
