Parents will be urged to learn about harmful misogyny online and discuss it with their children as part of the federal government’s suite of measures to tackle men’s violence against women.

New ad campaigns will launch next month focusing on the harms caused by misogyny, including a new tool to let adults see the kind of social media feeds their children may be scrolling, with a particular focus on controversial social media influencers spreading harmful gender stereotypes or condoning violence against women.
