Pledge united

Pledge United is an 8-week PSHE-PE programme delivered by Cambridge United Foundation in secondary schools, aiming to tackle violence and misogyny against women and girls. Created by the charity Inspire Indonesia and adapted by the Foundation to fit the British education system and curriculum, it focuses on the silent majority, encouraging and equipping boys to stand up to discrimination, inappropriate comments and 'banter' in dressing rooms or social situations and to be advocates for women and girls. Each weekly session is split between football coaching and drills and a discussion-based session in the 'dressing room', with each week tackling a different aspect of gender-based discrimination. The first five sessions take students on a behaviour change journey from pre-contemplation to action, and the sixth invites them to take a pledge to be part of the change and demonstrate respect. It is delivered over one academic term by a Foundation coach.
