Safe: Preventing Gender-Based Violence in and through Schools

Global leaders, experts, survivors and youth activists will highlight the latest data and evidence on violence that occurs in school settings, but also how schools can be an important arena for broader social change. Under the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the discussion will focus on how to ‘build back better’ education systems and safe learning environments.
