Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012 , is the cohort that’s currently between the ages of 13 and 28 .

For jaded millennials, Gen Z used to represent a more positive future.

Back in the mid-2010s they were a group of people on whom we could pin our hopes, dreams, and projected fantasies for years to come.

But our optimism is quickly being eroded.

Researchers identified a fourfold increase in the level of misogynistic content on the “ For You’s page of TikTok accounts over just five days on the platform.

This ranged from objectification and sexual harassment to discrediting women.

A lot of young people are confident in their digital literacy but lack in terms of reading comprehension and sources.

Hope Not Hate has observed a rise in the number of young people being referred to the government’s Prevent programme, which tackles extremism, as well as an uptick of reports of sexual violence in schools.

Deo believes many young women in this generation are openly embracing older gender norms.
