West Yorkshire Schools Asked to Share Experiences on Misogyny
November 11, 2025Research project seeks input from education professionals
The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership has launched a research project aimed at understanding the prevalence of misogynistic views and behaviours among children and young people in schools. The partnership is inviting teachers and school staff across West Yorkshire to contribute their experiences to help inform the study.
Focus of the research
The project is focused on gathering insights from those working directly with young people in educational settings. It seeks to explore how misogyny manifests within schools, including any attitudes or behaviours observed among pupils that reflect gender-based discrimination or hostility towards females.
Who is being asked to participate?
- Teachers
- School staff members
- Education professionals working in West Yorkshire schools
By collecting this information, the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership aims to better understand the scope and nature of misogynistic behaviour in schools, which could help shape future interventions and support mechanisms.
Background
Misogyny in educational environments has been recognised as a concern that can affect the wellbeing and safety of students. This research forms part of wider efforts to address violence and harmful behaviours among young people in the region.
Those interested in participating or seeking further information may contact the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership through official channels.
