British Schools to Introduce Anti-Misogyny Lessons Following Netflix’s Adolescence
Following the significant impact of the Netflix series *Adolescence*, British schools are poised to implement lessons aimed at combating misogyny. This initiative has drawn attention from various quarters, including Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha.
The crime drama, crafted by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, was released recently and has quickly gained popularity, particularly in India. Celebrities such as Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, and Vedang Raina have praised the series for its thought-provoking content. In response to the show’s themes, British educational institutions are reportedly considering the introduction of anti-misogyny lessons, a move that Sinha has hailed as essential. She emphasized the importance of similar educational reforms in Indian schools as well.
On Monday, Sinha took to her Instagram to highlight a post from LadBible that discussed this educational shift, asserting that anti-misogyny education is vital in today’s society. She expressed her support for the initiative by stating, “Well some good news today… maybe we should get on this bandwagon. Need of the hour.” Her endorsement reflects a broader call for societal change, particularly in educational settings.
*Adolescence* is a gripping four-part series that delves into the detrimental effects of social media and misogynistic attitudes on young males. Karan Johar recently shared his insights on the series, labeling it a critical awakening for parents navigating the complexities of raising children in a digital age. He remarked, “Adolescence is a wake-up loud call to parents who are raising children in times of social media… This gut-wrenching show serves as a mirror to contemporary parenting and the pervasive culture of social media.” He stressed the urgent need for parents to engage with the issues depicted in the series, which he views as a profound commentary on modern masculinity and bullying.
Released on March 13, 2025, *Adolescence* features a cast that includes Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, and Erin Doherty. The series follows the story of Jamie Miller, portrayed by Owen Cooper, a 13-year-old accused of murdering a classmate. Its compelling narrative has sparked critical discussions about youth behavior and societal norms.
