Violence against girls in and around school

“I am trying very hard to forget how it happened, but I am failing. I can’t just forget it; it’s like it’s just about to happen again, like it’s just happening. I remember every detail.” A 15 year old girl in Zambia who was raped by her teacher expresses her emotions. “I have been very much disturbed; emotionally disturbed and very much stressed.”

Every year, between 500 million and 1.5 billion children experience some sort of violence, often within school. This week Plan launches a global report on the scale of violence against girls around the world ahead of International Women’s Day on Friday 8th March.
