Understanding Violence in Schools: New Findings from the Violence Against Children Surveys

Read this secondary analysis of the Violence Against Children Surveys data, which aids in identifying the prevalence of school-related gender-based violence.

Description

Through USAID's Higher Education Support Network, AidData conducted a secondary analysis of the Violence Against Children Surveys data to identify the prevalence of school-related gender-based violence, as well as details on violence perpetration, victimization risk, and post-violence behaviors in selected countries. 

The goal of this project is to better understand the complexities and nuances of violence in schools, creating a framework for governments, organizations, and other actors to better prevent and address violence.
