Amend the Government’s statutory school guidance to tackle misandry
Amend the Government’s statutory guidance for schools on misogyny and violence against women and girls to also focus on tackling misandry and helping male victims. Guidance should state that: abuse is wrong, consent matters, online hate / harassment are unacceptable, and any pupil can be a victim.

Develop government guidance encouraging councils to fly Pride & equality flags
We want Government to develop national guidance encouraging councils to fly inclusive flags, such as Pride, Trans, and Women’s Rights flags, during awareness events. We believe these flags show solidarity and support for marginalised groups and should be welcomed in public spaces.
Remove religion and belief from the Equality Act 2010
Remove religion from the Equality Act. Religion consists of fundamental beliefs. Fundamental beliefs should not be protected under law from discrimination because we think this hinders the rights of others. We think many religious texts encourage illegal behaviours, such as inciting violence.
