'Being a girl makes me a target': Teenage girls worry about the rise of misogyny, says survey

One girl told the survey: 'Our education system is causing bright and talented people to crumble beneath the pressure. The points system is archaic and cruel. The jump to third-level is too much – and it shows in drop-out rates.'

Teen girls are concerned about the rise of misogyny, and many do not find school a positive experience, new research suggests.

A national survey of more than 1,000 girls and non-binary teenagers indicates that 67% believe their school environment is not a safe or welcoming space to all.
