Violence Against Girl Child in Schools

This book is consisting of six chapters which explore the causes and types of violence against girls in secondary schools. Violence in schools affects both boys and girls. Sexual and gender-based violence directed to girls is a particular concern. The direct impacts on girls' education, and indirect impact on their enjoyment of other human rights, have been identified in several national contexts. The threat or risk of violence may discourage parents from sending their daughters to school. This is particularly true for conflict-situations and areas where the journey to education-facilities is long, and there is a risk for assault and abductions on the way to school. The researcher developed a frame work to mitigating violence against school which is reflected in this book. This book will be directed towards strategically formulating action plan to  mitigate violence against girls. The book will be helpful to the students, researcher, teachers and policy makers, government officials to formulate plans and policies to eradicate the violence against girls in secondary stage.
