Thangam Debbonaire MP, who chairs the all-parliamentary group on refugees, believes male refugees settling in Britain should be give lessons in women's equality. link here
This concern seems to have stemmed following the Cologne attacks.

Thoughts?

Miffed that was mentioned by the MP also actually. It's like the Norwegian initiative which gave similar classes to immigrant men . Ironically FWR was in the middle of a big thread on that topic when the Cologne attacks kicked off.

I think it's a great idea. It is the first step in recognising that not all cultures can get on without serious readjustment but it also sends out the message that we are proud of our principles of gender equality.

It would be interesting to revisit the Norwegian initiative to see if it has worked.

I would like to see non-refugees have this sort of education too.
