Project description:
The prevention of violence in schools is an increasingly critical matter that reaches across political divides. This project examines this issue, and is working towards piloting a curricular solution for K-12 schools, through the lens of gender equity. The primary question at hand is: what relationship do gender-based violence and gender inequality play in the prevalence of school-based violence? Ultimately the project will establish best practices for violence prevention in schools.
