This policy brief is targeted at policymakers and practitioners working in gender, education and child protection fields. It draws from emerging evidence on the gendered implications of COVID-19 on violence as well as research from previous health emergencies regarding the impacts of school closures on gender-based violence. Working on the principle of โ€˜Build Back Betterโ€™, this brief may be used to advocate for improved attention to school- related gender-based violence (SRGBV).
