Get ‘In the Know’
YouTube stars Jamal Edwards, Mandem on the Wall and Twist and Pulse have joined a campaign aimed at boys and young men to raise awareness about sexting and controlling behaviour.
As part of ‘In the Know’, a phase of the Homes Offices ‘This is ABUSE’ campaign, the stars have created a series of blogs discussing issues such as consent, sexting and controlling behaviour.
All the videos end with a yes or no question, starting an interactive conversation that aims to challenge harmful attitudes and highlight clearly what constitutes abuse.
To join this conversation watch the video below from Mandem on the Wall and answer the question about sexting:
