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)

In this piece Mirsky argues that violence in the education sector is largely an unaddressed issue. Thus, in an attempt to fill the void that exists within the available information, Mirsky looks at the role of the education system itself and its pivotal position in remedying the issue. The report begins with a presentation of the matters surrounding gender violence, human rights movements, definitions of violence, dialogue, sexual harassment in relation to the education sector, and more. Towards the end of the report, the author concludes that as a practical measure, institutions need to change the way they deal with gender relations and norms at all levels in the education system.
