Hitting girls, forcing sex “not a big deal”: boys
Sunday, November 23, 2008
A new report has found that:
- nearly one in seven teenage boys think it is OK to make a girl have sex with them, if she has been flirting with them.
- one in three young people had witnessed their fathers being violent towards their mothers
- one in every three boys believe it is not a “big deal to hit a girl”.
