Violence in and around schools is a worldwide problem with serious implications for the educational attainment, health and well-being of all children. This Doorways training programme was designed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Safe Schools Program to enable teachers, community members and students to prevent and respond to school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV). This manual is the first in a series of three from the Doorways programme (the other two are targeted at teachers, and community members). It is designed to help students learn how to prevent violence and increase their self-efficacy through enhanced knowledge, attitudes and skills regarding healthy relationships, reproductive health issues, HIV prevention and children’s rights and responsibilities

This manual has nine modules. There is a glossary for clarification of terms and resources are listed throughout the manual in the ‘How Can You Learn More?’ section at the beginning of each module. Each module begins with an introduction that includes a brief explanation as to why this module or content was included as part of the SRGBV prevention and response manual. Also included in each module are a number of sections including learning objectives, activities and discussion questions. Modules in this handbook include school-related gender-based violence in our community, human rights, healthy friendships, life skills and healthy bodies.
