Too Often in Silence: A Report on School-Based Violence in West and Central Africa
This report discusses school violence in West and Central Africa and finds that over half of primary school children were victims of corporal punishment in schools. The report also highlights that children with disabilities and those displaced by conflict are particularly at risk of school-based violence. Recommendations for curbing and tackling this trend are offered for governments, aid organizations, NGOs, schools, teachers, and the community.
