Our new report on the Sexual Harassment of Teachers (SHot) has attracted national media attention. We've rounded up the highlights here:
Kindergarten kids are sharing pornography and molesting classmates while teenage boys threaten female teachers with rape, a disturbing new study shows.
Nearly half of teachers reported sexual harassment from boys in class, in a survey of 1012 teachers conducted by Collective Shout, a charity that campaigns against the sexualisation of children and objectification of girls.
Teenage boys in years 9 and 10 were responsible for most of the harmful sexual behaviours, Collective Shout warns in its first report on the sexual harassment of teachers.
