A new digital resource has been launched to address 'toxic Andrew Tate type' attitudes in young people.

Police commissioner Susan Dungworth is behind the initiative, aiming to tackle sexual harassment and misogyny through early education.

The 'It All Adds Up' resource, developed by Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland, consists of short films to stimulate discussion and awareness.

Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, Susan Dungworth, said: "Ultimately, we need young men and boys to be anti-Andrew Tate.

"We need them as allies.

"If we allow twisted viewpoints to seep into people’s minds, we are allowing them to potentially develop into abusive, violent behaviours."

The films are part of the #ItAllAddsUp campaign, depicting real-life experiences of women and girls in the North East.

They aim to illustrate the omnipresence of sexual harassment.

Jamie Allinson, deputy CEO at Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland, said: “We really hope that the benefits of the resource will be that it can be used to educate and inform children and young people about sexual harassment and the impact that this has on women and girls."

The resource, including lesson plans, presentations, and activity sheets, is available for download online.
