Because surviving high school is about more than just exams
BREAKING NEWS: Our Viral Film – Thin End of The Wedge
Trigger Warning: this film is uncensored and some might fight the language graphic and offensive and themes unsuitable for children
This film was created by some Tyneside school girls – it is part of a wider project around showing how schools tackle misogyny. Every comment is genuine and authentic.
We’d like to thank these brave girls and their school for being so proactive in tackling this issue. This film has been shared in the hope it can be used as a conversation starter for parents, carers, teachers, alt ed, and community groups. We all have a part to play in having these conversations, ending misogyny, and violence against women and girls.
We understand “it is not all boys” but it is everyone’s problem & responsibility to change our society and communites as a whole.
Please get in touch if you’d like to hear more about the work we do.
