Safe and secure physical environments in and around schools

Developed by UNGEI through the Global Working Group to End School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV), A Whole School Approach to prevent and respond to SRGBV: minimum standards and monitoring framework provides guidance for policy makers and practitioners. The model is based on eight evidence-based approaches which together represent a ‘whole school approach’ to tackling SRGBV. Millions of students and teachers experience gender-based violence in and around schools. This is a violation of their basic human right to a learn in a safe and gender-sensitive environment.
