Rejected petition: Young men need to learn that respecting a woman’s boundaries isn’t optional.
Rejected on
Stronger education that teaches boys about respect, consent, healthy relationships, and accountability. Rather than placing the responsibility on girls to protect themselves from harmful male behaviour, we must prevent that behaviour by educating boys from young on boundaries and respect for women.
Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
Schools already teach boys about consent, respecting boundaries and challenging misogyny as part of statutory RSHE, and recent government updates have strengthened this further with explicit content on harmful online influences and respectful relationships.

We might be able to allow another petition if you explain exactly what changes you would like to make to the national curriculum.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
