This Education Data Brief provides an overview of the global prevalence of school-related gender-based violence, using recent data to illustrate the scope and scale of this problem worldwide. The brief provides country-level statistics when available, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. The brief is divided into two sections: the prevalence of SRGBV (including bullying, physical violence and high-risk groups) and the impact of SRGBV (on educational outcomes, physical and mental health outcomes, relationship of exposure to prolonged toxic stress and developmental/cognitive outcomes, early child marriage and early pregnancy, costs of SRGBV and data on reporting and referrals).
