Dear Supporters, 

It is wonderful to surpass 103,000 signatures - lets keep the pressure up on the government and continue to hold them to account.

You can read The Big Issue's coverage of our amendment to the Children and Wellbeing Bill, which would mandate Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) for young people up until 18 years old, as opposed to the current cap of 16. Zarah Sultana MP will be speaking about this amendment in Parliament today:

This is a vital opportunity for MPs in the House of Commons to recognise the crucial role education plays in preventing violence against women and girls. The government must confront the reality of teenage relationship abuse—however uncomfortable—and take immediate action to address this growing epidemic and stop it destroying more lives. 

Lets get to 150,000 signatures!

All my best, 
Faustine
