20 Defining Sexual and Gender-Based Violence 20

21 SGBV - True or False ●Girls are the only victims of SGBV ●SGBV includes bullying and verbal harassment ●SGBV is sometimes carried out by students ●Students who have experienced SGBV are more like to drop out of school ●Students experiencing SGBV are at higher risk of HIV ●Only men carry out SGBV ●SGBV only happens in the school grounds 21

22 Defining Sexual and Gender-Based Violence School Based Sexual and Gender-Based Violence includes violence or abuse that is based on gendered stereotypes or that targets students on the basis of their sex, sexuality, or gender identities. The underlying intent of this violence is to reinforce gender roles and perpetuate gender inequalities. It includes rape, unwanted sexual touching, unwanted sexual comments, corporal punishment, bullying, and verbal harassment. Unequal power relations between adults and children and males and females contribute to this violence, which can take place in the school, on school grounds, going to and from school, or in school dormitories and may be perpetrated by teachers, students, or community members. Both girls and boys can be victims, as well as perpetrators. Sexual and Gender-Based violence results in sexual, physical, or psychological harm to girls and boys. 22

23 The Impact of SGBV ●Physical injury ●Pregnancy ●Sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) ●Emotional/psychological ill health ●Greater risk of educational failure through absenteeism, dropping out and lack of motivation for academic achievement 23

24 Making Rules Together ●Ask students to think of important classroom rules and make a list ●Choose 10-15 rules that are the most important ●Discuss why each rule is important ●Write consequences for each rule so students know what will happen if they break the rule 24

25 RULECONSEQUENCES REASON FOR THE RULE Be punctual 1.Student explains why they are late. 2.Warning. 3.Student apologizes to teacher. 4.Student stays in during break for the amount of time he or she was late. The student must study the lesson that was missed while staying in. 5.Student meets with the headmaster or director of the school. -When a student is late for class he or she misses out on learning important information. Being late hurts the student from learning and being on time helps the student learn. Being late also interrupts other students from learning because it causes a distraction. -This rule is for the well-being and the benefit of students. * The teacher should find out why the student is late. Maybe something is happening at home and the student can work with the teacher to find someone who can help the student. 25
