London Mayor Sadiq Khan greets ‘Adolescence’ for mainstreaming -Problems
“Adolescence” has been praised by the mayor Sadiq Khan in London to help the subject of violence against women and the dangers of social media in the spotlight.
Speaking with Variety on the sidelines of the inaugural SXSW London, where he held the opening speech, Khan said that there was an “epidemic of violence to women and girls in the UK, with statistics from 2019 and 2020 who claimed:” A woman is killed by a man every three days. ”
Although he said that there was clearly an important role in being played by criminal law, he noted that it was also extremely important that it was an address in educational terms at schools, which emphasized different London initiatives, including one for teachers to use in classrooms.
“Because I am afraid that boys should be taught in particular about healthy relationships, about respecting girls, but also about stoicism about resilience,” he said. “So when you see, for the first time a taptok or a social media film or a YouTube video about the way to treat girls, you realize that that is not the way to treat girls, that is not the way to treat women, and you see it, you know that the opposite commas is:
But, despite all the care, Khan noticed that he “had drawn my hair about the lack of people in this area”, so he gives “adolescence” so much credit.
“Stephen Graham is a genius, but Netflix deserves enormous credit,” he said. And listening to Jack (Thorne), who wrote it and Stephen and the publicity they did afterwards, was really important. Those conversations, go to parliament, who have conversations with MPs to talk about it on banks and breakfast TV. Hopefully everyone will understand that this is a problem that will not disappear and we will continue to tackle this problem, to ensure that the laws are kept informed of some of the things that girls go through. ”
Khan referred to a concert by the Killers that he attended a few years ago where a woman was aware.
“At that time it was not a criminal offense, you could take photos with women’s skirts, but the law has now been amended to make a violation,” he said. “Her experience with the concert was very different from mine and that is why people like you and me-men must show and empathy for women and girls. And that is why ‘adolescence’ is so important. Mainstreamed this.

“I know by talking to friends in America that they are in turbulent political waters, and what I tell them is that we have something rare in London, which is an open environment, that is stable, so it is perfect for the creative industry,” he said, and added that the number of Americans moved to the VK has started his second term.
“In the first three months of this year we had a record number of Americans who came to the VK and in particular to London, look at characteristics, look at nationality. I know that we speak with those in the film sector, the music sector and the fashion sector, that is enormous appetite to build on what they have done in London and come to London,” he said.
“You will have seen part of the concern of all kinds of sectors within Hollywood about a few things that President Trump says, and so what I say is looking, London is a place that is the opposite, where a counterpart is for negativity, so come to London.”
