Teachers offered training on running classroom sessions for children to learn about inequality and sexism

Combating the “pernicious influence” of misogynists such as Andrew Tate in primary schools is as important as teaching children English and maths, the mayor of London has told teachers.

Sadiq Khan has written to every primary school in London urging them to counter the online misogyny of influencers such as Tate through new classes and workshops that are being set up across the capital as part of plans to tackle violence against women and girls.
