Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is endemic in our society. Schools are a critical site for the protection of children and young people, and present the best opportunity to challenge attitudes which condone abuse and transform the long-term likelihood of abuse in adult relationships. However, there are also alarming levels of sexual violence and sexual harassment in our schools, which is why it has been deemed a national crisis.1 In recent years we have seen the growth of online misogynist influencers, who promote violence against women and girls, and have had a real impact on boys and young men’s attitudes and behaviour. Schools and colleges are often left to deal with the aftermath of this, without sufficient funding or resources to deal with the issues. Teachers and staff have reported feeling ill-equipped and unprepared to address the scale of the problem, and sometimes prefer to downplay or ignore its magnitude.2 The impact of this inaction is devastating and addressing the matter has never been more urgent.

SUMMARY
Mental health has become a major issue of public health, and economic and social concern across the whole of the EU. Collecting data is crucial for monitoring mental health, developing effective policies and addressing the growing mental health challenges. It is estimated that more than 84 million people in the EU are struggling with mental health problems.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic crisis have placed a huge strain on everyone's mental health. The restrictive measures taken by governments during the pandemic had a severe impact on people, with inequalities in mental health, both within the population and between social groups. Young people, the elderly and people in vulnerable situations suffered more than others.
