Analysis of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Risk Overview

This report looks at the evidence on effective social norms approaches to female genital mutilation, gender-based violence and early childhood marriage in fragile and conflict-affected settings. It explores the pros and cons of taking an integrated approach, as well as identifying promising interventions that tackle the shared drivers and impact these multiple forms of violence.

Schools provide an important entry point for preventing violence not only in schools, but also in the wider communities they serve. School-based interventions provide an important opportunity to prevent violence at scale, given their potential to reach many students, teachers and parents. Schools have considerable influence on children’s learning about respectful relationships with their peers, potential partners and in the wider community. With carefully designed and implemented interventions, schools can transform harmful attitudes and norms towards violence. This query is based on a mapping of successful programmes which have been employed in primary and secondary schools and have proven to be successful in tackling school-based violence and changing attitudes and norms towards violence.

This report reviews the evidence on reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), including sexual exploitation and abuse by aid workers and/or peacekeepers. It looks at the scale and timeframe of reparations, as well as how impacts are measured.
