School-Related Gender-Based Violence in the Asia-Pacific Region

---

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a fundamental violation of human rights. It is one of the worst manifestations of gender-based discrimination, disproportionately affecting girls and women. GBV is a global phenomenon that knows no geographical, cultural, social, economic, ethnic, or other boundaries. It occurs across all societies, and is a major obstacle to the achievement of gender equality.

Governments have signed onto international frameworks to protect children from all forms of

violence. Despite these frameworks, recent reviews and initiatives have highlighted the extent to
which children are exposed to school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) and the significance
of education to prevent and eliminate this form of violence. In the region, GBV is often tolerated and sustained by social institutions, including the school - the very place where children are expected to be safe, protected and empowered. SRGBV remains not fully examined in the region, and is perhaps even overlooked in many educational environments.
