Challenging misogynistic views and behaviours in young men and preventing intimate partner abuse in young women and girls

Date: Friday 27 November 2026

Time: 1.30pm to 3.30pm

Where: Online via Microsoft Teams

This session will explore intimate partner abuse in young people’s relationships and the attitudes and beliefs that keep it going. It will also explore how to support children and young people to stay safe in their relationships.

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • better understand how intimate partner abuse appears in children’s and young people’s relationships involving all genders
  • understand influences on boys and young men that drive misogynist attitudes and behaviours
  • develop skills to challenge misogynist beliefs in children and young people
  • develop skills to better support girls and young women to stay safe in their relationships

Edinburgh Women’s Aid is delivering this session. They have supported survivors of domestic abuse in Edinburgh since 1973.

It is of particular interest to professionals working with children and young people. It is also open to members of the public.
