Colégio São Domingos, a private school in the Perdizes neighborhood of São Paulo, has suspended several students who were involved in sharing misogynistic messages in WhatsApp groups. Reports indicate that these students, from the 9th grade, compiled a list categorizing female classmates as 'more' and 'less' 'rapeable.' Once the school discovered this alarming behavior on Wednesday, October 11, it immediately took action, deeming the content as not only misogynistic but also offensive to the entire school community, particularly to the affected female students.

The school administration emphasized its commitment to its principles and values by addressing this serious issue head-on. While acknowledging that the messages were shared in non-official groups, the institution mobilized its pedagogical team to navigate the fallout of this incident. Measures have been initiated which include providing support and listening sessions for the impacted students, discussions with the involved students and their families, and temporary suspensions for those responsible for the behavior.

The steps taken by Colégio São Domingos are indicative of a broader educational responsibility to combat misogyny and ensure a safe environment for all students. This incident may serve as a critical wake-up call for schools to adopt more proactive measures in fostering respectful relationships and preventing bullying and harassment within school communities.
