‘The incel movement was once fringe. It’s absolutely not, it’s mainstream.’ Soma Sara, @everyonesinvited.bsky.social founder, explains how children are ‘falling victim to harmful misogynistic ideas about what it means to be a man’ online. @natashadevon.bsky.social

Today, Year 8 explored 'Navigating Relationships' in the first of 3 sessions with the charity @everyonesinvited.bsky.social. Pupils learned how to recognise unhealthy behaviours, support friends and communicate emotions, handle rejection and manage conflict in a healthy, empathetic & respectful way.

In our latest Substack piece, Soma reflects on hope - whilst speaking candidly about the reality and the weight of this work, and the stigma and taboo that still dominate this issue and remains a huge barrier to solving it.

The recent election in New York City - and the historic victory of Zorhan Mamdami - has shown the power of grassroots movements and what’s possible when people come together in hope and collective action.

Rightly so I’m seeing lots of support for women & condemnation for #arsenal As a wider issue rape culture in the uk starts as early as primary school. We all need to learn & be better allies for survivors. @everyonesinvited.bsky.social is a great place to start.

After the publication of our 2025 Primary Schools list in the UK & Ireland, we are building an evidence-based research action project on preventive education for Year 5&6 pupils, with a building-block style approach to equip children, parents, and staff with the tools to navigate these issues early.

Young people need and deserve quality relationships and sex education, but in its absence often turn to porn to learn about sex. With @everyonesinvited.bsky.social showing the scale of sexual abuse in primary schools, prioritising RSHE has never been more urgent. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This BBC headline should say ‘fined for SEXUAL ASSAULT’, however they know exactly what they’re doing here… Softening what happened into “kissing player” downplays ASSAULT. It invites debate, doubt, and minimisation. Words matter. Call it what it is. ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jaysley Beck’s tragic death is yet another reminder that rape culture thrives in institutions built on power imbalances. The system failed her. And until holistic preventative education exists and is accessible to all, across society, it will keep failing others. #JaysleyBeck #EndRapeCulture

In any situation there will be many factors at play, including gender, class, sexuality, and diasporic context that inform practice. We must consider these and avoid blaming specific cultures as a whole.💙

We must take an intersectional approach to dissecting sexual violence cases. Intersectionality is a way to understand how multiple forms of oppression interact to create distinct outcomes.

Scapegoating certain groups distracts people from the real issues, reducing the focus on underfunding and the growth of polarising rhetoric amongst young people. Sexual violence and rape culture exists within every culture, we must not ignore this.

If we play into the perception that grooming only happens within certain ethnic groups, we risk obscuring the systemic nature of sexual violence, whilst at the same time fuelling anti-Muslim racism.

According to a study by Dr Ella Cockbain at UCL, there is: no credible evidence for a far-right stereotype that has spread widely in the media. Instead, the facts show that 85% of ‘group-based’ child abusers were white in the first three quarters of 2024.

Due in part to terminology used by mainstream media, the term “grooming gang” immediately connotes to Pakistani-heritage Muslim men abusing white girls, but this is not based in evidence. Home Office researchers have found that group-based offenders are most commonly White.

“Despite these glaring patterns, misogyny remains unrecognised as form of extremism. Misogyny is not and cannot remain a side note to these acts. It is central to understanding and stopping these tragedies. We must call it what it is: a form of terror.”
