Researchers have presented crucial strides to tackle violence against women in education.

Their report, following the evaluation of Peer Heroes pilot scheme, features eight recommendations.

Compiled by Solent University, University of Roehampton, and University of York, findings stress the importance of boys reflecting on misogynistic attitudes and sexual harm.

Dr Catherine Phipps, Solent's Senior Lecturer Education and Sociology, says: "It has been a pleasure to work on the evaluation of this important project alongside Yellow Door over the past 18 months.

"The final report demonstrates the value of universities collaborating with charities, schools, and other key stakeholders, and we are keen to continue this impactful work moving forward."

The report also emphasises incorporating girls' experiences in interventions.

It has been shared with Southampton stakeholders, and is set to guide educational providers' strategies.
