I ask the Secretary of State for Education to change the curriculum in order to increase education about sexism in society.

As a student, I received minimal education on sexism in society. The only time where I properly learnt about it was in A-Level History (when I was 16). I think this was too little, too late. I've witnessed the toxic masculinity that prevails within school It is the lack of education on sexism (from a young age) which is a key reason for the gender inequality within society.
