This project aims to address and eliminate gender-based violence (GBV) in schools, creating safe, inclusive, and supportive environments for girls. By promoting education on gender equality, fostering supportive school policies, and providing training for educators, this initiative will empower girls, reduce GBV incidents, and improve academic outcomes. The project will collaborate with schools, local communities, and government bodies to ensure sustainability and scale-up potential.
Background and Rationale:
Gender-based violence in schools is a significant barrier to girls’ education, limiting their academic success and emotional well-being. GBV incidents, ranging from bullying to sexual harassment and assault, often go unreported due to a lack of safe reporting mechanisms and supportive environments. This creates a hostile environment where girls feel unsafe, impacting their attendance, engagement, and overall development.
According to [relevant statistics or reports], GBV in schools disproportionately affects girls and hinders their potential to succeed. To foster equal opportunities in education and safeguard the rights of girls, it is essential to create school environments that are free from violence, discrimination, and fear. This project will address these issues by implementing holistic solutions, including prevention, response, and advocacy efforts.
