00:00It's so important for schools to be targeted and really taught about having domestic abuse
00:09in their curriculum because it all starts in your very formative years when you're younger.
00:15We're still very uneducated and very unwilling to understand what domestic abuse actually is
00:21and the impact it can have on people's lives.
00:24There are on the internet so-called influencers who are telling young boys
00:30they are entitled to use violence, they are entitled to coerce the other person to do
00:38what they don't really want to do.
00:40I think it's just vitally important for the younger generation to be educated in that
00:45so that they can grow up to see the signs and develop a language of what domestic abuse is.
00:53The internet, that space, is so fast in how it changes and keeping up with that is difficult.
01:01So there has to be a better education system at a younger age.
01:04Education, empathy, the idea of how to treat people,
01:09the idea of how to break those stereotypes sometimes, that has to be from a very young age.
01:15We have to challenge the in-built sexism which says that somehow women
01:22are not as entitled to respect as men.
01:26Had we included it in PHSC school-age children, maybe the things that I'd experienced in previous
01:34relationships never would have happened because I might have been able to spot the signs or
01:37I might have felt more comfortable or knew who to reach out to to ask for help.
