Today we've got a guest blog from Amber Rudd Conservative MP for Hastings and Rye, who writes about why she's supporting the One Billion Rising campaign.
The campaign is a global one to end violence against women - have a look here for a previous post by Stella Creasy MP for more background, and there's an interesting interview with Vagina Monologues creator Eve Ensler, who founded the campaign, in the Guardian here.
In the UK, the campaign's efforts are being focused on young people, relationships and violence. A cross-party group led by Stella and Amber have tabled a motion on 14 February called for "personal, social and health education [to be] a requirement in schools, including a zero tolerance approach to violence and abuse in relationships".
What do you think - should it be compulsory for children to learn about relationship violence and sexual consent in schools? Read her blog and let us know if you blog on this subject, or tell us what you think here on the thread.
