School-Related Gender-Based Violence: UNGEI-UNESCO discussion paper

School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) continues to be a serious barrier in realizing the right to education.The experience, or even the threat, of school-related gender-based violence often results in poor performance, irregular attendance, dropout, truancy and low self-esteem. Violence can also have serious health and psychological implications that can have long-lasting effects. This UNGEI-UNESCO discussion paper aims to articulate the issues, causes, challenges and opportunities in policy and programming, with a specific focus on school-related violence against girls.
