Why are sexist influencers appealing to our boys?

On Friday 31 March at 12pm, join the Fawcett Society for a virtual panel discussion and Q&A discussing the impact of online misogyny on young people.

We’ll be exploring why sexist celebrities like Andrew Tate are so appealing to and have so much influence on boys and young men. Online misogyny presents parents and caregivers with many challenges that have never been faced by previous generations, from internet safety to the normalisation of sexist views.

Through this discussion, we will be looking at how parents can support their children to safely navigate online spaces and reduce the impact of online misogyny.

This is the first event from the new Fawcett Society campaign 'Equal Play', supporting parents and caregivers with empowering resources and practical advice to challenge gender stereotypes with their own kids.

This panel discussion will be chaired by our CEO Jemima Olchawski, who will be joined by (left to right): Natasha Devon MBE, writer, presenter and activist; Janaya Walker, Public Affairs Manager, End Violence Against Women Coalition; and Elliott Rae, speaker author and social changemaker.

If you’re worried about how to protect the children in your life from online misogyny, this online event is for you. Hear from fellow parents facing the same problems and experts fighting to make digital spaces safe. Learn what you can do to protect your children from harm. Together, we will reflect on society’s toxic masculine ‘ideals’, and consider how to support the boys and young men targeted by sexist influencers.

The online event will be held on Friday 31 March on Zoom, from 12pm-1pm. From 12pm-12:45, the speakers will engage in a panel discussion, after which there will be a 15 minute Q&A.
