THURROCK MP Jackie Doyle-Price rose on the floor fo the House of Commons to speak on a debate violence against women and girls.
Ms Doyle-Price said: “There will not be a single woman in this House who has not been the victim of dehumanising behaviour from men. As my hon. Friend says, addressing that will require societal change, but we are increasingly seeing that women’s first exposure to that violent behaviour is in schools. What steps will she take to challenge the Department for Education to make sure that we have conversations about consent and tackling entitlement at the earliest possible time?
Rachel Maclean The Minister of State, Home Department
“I completely agree about the important issue of early intervention, working with families and young people and tackling the root cause of these horrific crimes.
That is why, as part of the violence against women and girls action plan, we have commissioned a significant public communications campaign that will tackle many of the issues that my hon. Friend addresses, but it is also vital that I work with my colleagues in the DFE and that we ensure we are working in schools as well.
