Launch of UK FEMINISTA System Change Report

A New Blueprint for how to mobilise schools to help end all forms of Violence Against Women and Girls
Making Herstory is is proud to have supported the launch of UK Feminista's System Change: Why a whole school approach to preventing sexism and sexual harassment is needed – and how to make it work report in the Houses of Parliament on Thursday 5th March 2026.
The report provides a new blueprint for action setting out what Government, inspectorates and education leaders MUST invest in, and do, to stop endemic sexism and sexual harassment in schools and colleges.
Speaking at the event, our CEO Onjali Rauf highlighted the many levels of abuses and harms girls suffer daily in school environments, and celebrated UK Feminista’s Whole School Approach Development Scheme which makes clear one fact: one‑off lessons, workshops or RSE alone will NOT fix the problem. Only long‑term prevention embedded across policies, practice and culture will deliver real change.​
