Why are girls calling out ‘rape culture’ at Britain’s top public schools?

This morning, a slew of red ribbons are being tied to the wrought iron gates of one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. After yesterday’s walkout by girls at Highgate School in north London, those at James Allen’s Girls School (JAGS) in Dulwich, a leafy enclave on the other side of the capital, are staging their own day-long demonstration against the so-called ‘rape culture’ they say lies at the heart of the public school system – each ribbon representing a testimony of sexual violence. The protest comes in the wake of thousands of shocking allegations that have come to light from students, past and present, this month – painting a depressing portrait of sexual humiliation, harassment, abuse and even rape as a fixture of Britain’s private school experience. Many of the country’s top independent institutions have been named on Everyone’s Invited, a website and 32,000 follower-strong Instagram page set up last year by former private schoolgirl and sexual abuse survivor Soma Sara, 22, as a platform for claims of sexual harassment – which have skyrocketed amid the conversation about female safety triggered by the death of Sarah Everard. The alleged perpetrators aren’t named, but the establishments are, and although these problems aren’t exclusively the preserve of the independent sector, the number of allegations emerging about a string of Britain’s most prestigious schools raises uncomfortable questions: do these settings have a particular problem with rape culture? And if so, what has allowed it to flourish? Last week, Ava Vakil published an open letter online about what she branded “the deep-rooted culture of misogyny” at King’s College School, Wimbledon – describing the £20,000 a year private school as a “hotbed of sexual violence,” and the label of a “King’s boy” having come to mean “a privileged, usually white, usually wealthy boy who engages in derogatory behaviour towards women.”
