On June 4, the Evening Standard launched a £500,000 campaign called 'Show Some Respect' to tackle sexist abuse in schools. The campaign is part of a broader effort to address violence against women and girls. As part of the initiative, the Standard conducted a survey asking men and women if they feel safe in London. On June 5, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan wrote an op-ed for the Evening Standard, emphasizing the need to combat misogynistic beliefs in schools. Dr. Tamasine Preece expressed concerns about children asking disturbing questions about strangling girls during sex. The investigation revealed that male pupils are sharing explicit images of female students and discussing harmful sexual practices.
