Implementation

• Teacher Training: Educators are receiving training on gender equality, positive discipline, and violence prevention to create supportive learning environments.
• Safe Spaces: Schools are working to establish safe and inclusive environments, including gender-neutral facilities and anti-bullying policies.
• Community Engagement: Parents, communities, and teacher unions are being involved in promoting gender equality and preventing violence in schools.² ³

Expected Outcomes

• Improved Academic Performance: Gender-sensitive learning environments can lead to better academic outcomes and increased retention rates, particularly for girls.
• Reduced Gender-Based Violence: Schools can become safer and more inclusive, reducing incidents of violence and promoting a culture of respect.
• Empowered Students: Students will be more likely to participate, engage, and pursue their passions without fear of judgment or discrimination.⁴
