Making the grade: A model national policy for the prevention, management and elimination of violence against girls in schoo

This model policy is aimed at prevention, management and – in the long term – elimination of violence against girls in schools. This will help ensure girls’ access to school, as well as their retention, effective participation and good performance there, in line with the Education for All goals. The policy provides definitions of violence in line with the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, as well as the definition of a child.
