PHOTO: PHILIPPINES: A girl plays a guitar as she sits with other children outside the UNICEF-assisted Nayon Kabataan Rehabilitation Centre for street children and victims of child labour and physical abuse in Manila, the capital. The girl on the right has lost her hearing and is unable to speak and seems to also suffer from trauma or another mental disability. Because she is unable to describe her experience, it is unknown what has happened to her since she has been on her own. (UNICEF/ HQ97-0963/Jeremy Horner)

It is only recently that gender violence has been recognized as a widespread problem. This study considers the nature and scale of gender violence in schools in developing countries. It traces the conceptual connections between gender relations & violence within the context of the school’s culture, structure and processes and explores the implicit and explicit gender violence.
