There have been increasing reports of gender-based violence in educational settings from around the world. In the developing world, where economic imbalances are extreme, literacy rates low, basic universal education a goal rather than a reality, and the HIV pandemic often devastating, the question of gender violence and its impact on education and health is particularly critical. However, little work has been done to systematically document and review information on the prevalence and consequences of this violence in formal education settings, nor to look carefully at intervention strategies that are or could be in place to address the problem. This review has been commissioned by USAIDs Office of Women in Development to identify, annotate, and synthesize research studies and projects/interventions addressing primary and secondary school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV). The review of the literature looks first at evidence of the prevalence of school-related gender-based violence in developing countries. The second section of the report provides a context for the subsequent discussion of the consequences of school-related gender-based violence for the health and educational outcomes for students. Specifically, it discusses patterns of economic inequality, cultural beliefs about sex and sexuality, and data on adolescent sexual activity in developing countries. The third section focuses on what is being done to address SRGBV. Both programmatic and policy responses are reviewed and discussed. The report concludes with the authors recommendations for further work. 收起
