Strategies

Strategies to End School-Related Gender-Based Violence: The Experience of Education Unions in Africa gives an overview of many of the strategies different unions in the programme undertook to address SRGBV in their contexts.

This document explains the “what,” “how” and “to what effect” dimensions of the unions’ efforts across the continent.

Case Studies

Working to End School-Related Gender-Based Violence: Writings by Representatives if Eastern, West and Southern Africa allows us to better understand what it actually “feels like” for union activists and teachers to confront gender-based violence in all its forms and for Gender at Work facilitators to support peer-based reflection on the norms and power dynamics that normalize gender-based violence in our homes, schools and unions.

It offers personal stories of change in complex organizational and social settings told by union change agents and G@W facilitators themselves.

Videos

Education union representatives participating in an SRGBV learning encounter in Addis Ababa in February 2019 were invited to use their cellphones to film themselves and each other telling stories of change from their respective unions. Their stories are captured in the video “Education Unions Take Action to End School-Related Gender-Based Violence.”

Reports

School-related gender based violence (SRGBV) has a devastating impact on learners around the world. Every year, millions of children and adolescents mostly girls – are deprived of their right to an equitable and inclusive education. Policy makers, governments, educators, parents and activists are increasingly confronted by this problem and looking for the most effective measures to end gender based violence in and around schools. Education unions are playing a unique role in this global effort.
