Resources for Young People
In this section:
Research commissioned by Zero Tolerance of young people's attitudes towards sex, violence and relationships in Glasgow, Manchester and Fife discovered that 1 in 2 boys and 1 in 3 girls found it acceptable to hit women under certain circumstances.
Raising awareness around domestic abuse should be seen in the context of the Scottish Executive's national priorities for education.
