The new allyship training, developed in partnership with arts charity Tender, is designed to help young boys to recognise and challenge sexist behaviour, as the country faces what Khan described as an “epidemic of violence against women and girls”.
The toolkit can be accessed online and used by schools, colleges, community groups and faith groups across London.
Khan has invested £1m in the implementation of the resource across the capital over the next three years, as part of a £100m boost for measures to address gender-based violence across London.
Speaking to CYP Now at the launch of the toolkit in Rokeby School, Newham, Khan said: “The idea is to support young people, give them the skills to be educated and empowered to tackle violence against women and girls by addressing their own behaviour and the behaviour of their mates as well.”
