    Experiencing violence in schools can negatively impact girls' enrollment as well as the quality of the education they receive. Evidence suggests that sexual harassment is widespread in educational settings in many parts of the world.

    A major barrier to the achievement of quality education is the existence of gender-based violence in and around schools.
