Empowering young voices to inform new Tackling VAWG Strategy

In November 2024, the Council hosted four workshops with over 100 Year 5 pupils at Cleveland Primary School. These sessions were designed to ensure that the voices of Children and Young People play a crucial role in shaping our new Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy 2025-2035.

Workshop Highlights

  • Pupils explored gender stereotypes by categorising adjectives, hobbies, and jobs as either blue (associated with masculinity) or pink (associated with femininity)
  • They shared their dreams for the future and described how they envision their world when they grow up, and in doing so were encourage to use both 'pink' and 'blue' words to challenge gender stereotypes.

Take a look at some examples of their amazing work highlighting their vision for the future and for Redbridge pictured below...
