As reports have proliferated on widespread violence experienced by girls and boys in and around schools across the globe, school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) has become a major concern for policymakers, education practitioners and researchers. At an international level, addressing violence against children and gender violence have gained momentum through conventions and resolutions arising from the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) (1981) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC 1989). In 2000, the Education for All goals and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) heralded an emphasis on increasing girls’ access to education, and since then concerns have expanded to include a greater interest in gender equality and broader conceptual thinking around SRGBV to include boys as well. From 2015, these concerns about gender, violence and education have been reiterated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
