This blog asserts that in order to end school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV), advocates must dismantle the culture of violence and raise girls and boys to be equal so classrooms can be safe environments for children to learn and thrive.

Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), also called online violence, cyber violence, and digital violence, includes all forms of GBV committed using ICTs, including mobile phones, smartphones, the internet, social media, or other digital platforms or tools. The misuse of technology can have devastating consequences for women and girls’ safety, health, and rights when it is used to intimidate, harass, exploit, abuse, stalk, threaten and blackmail. To mitigate misuse of and capitalize on the potential that digital technology offers for accelerating universal access to SRH services, it is critical that SRH practitioners, services, and programs understand and address TFGBV.
