HSCP Youth at Risk: exploring the rise of incel ideology and extreme misogyny

Incel Ideology:

Incel stands for ‘involuntarily celibate’ and relates to an individual (often male) who has been unable to have an intimate relationship. Incel ideology started as an online supportive movement, but some sections of this online subculture have become violent, and harmful to women and society. The incel movement has been linked to mass murders in both the US and the UK.

Incel terminology is often used by young people, and their awareness of the extreme misogyny associated with incels is growing. This training will help you to navigate the terminology, understand the risks, understand when to seek support relating to a young person being involved with this online space, and explore how incel ideology links more widely to extreme misogyny.

 Objectives

• Understand key definitions relating to the incel movement
• Consider the causes of violence against women and girls within the incel movement
• Understand the links between incels and racism
• Discover the link between incels and terrorism
