“Safe to Learn” is a global initiative dedicated to ending violence against children in and through schools. Ending violence in and through schools refers to two aspects of ending violence. First, ending all violence that happens while at school, on and around school grounds, while getting to and from school, and in online activity linked to a student’s school life. Second, using school as an entry point to reduce violence in other areas of children’s lives. Schools can be important spaces where students develop the positive behaviors and relationship skills that can contribute to reducing violence in the home, community, and online, as well as other interpersonal violence. The programmatic and advocacy objectives of Safe to Learn are set out in a five-point “Call to Action”. This Global Programmatic Framework & Benchmarking Tool will provide guidance to Safe to Learn partners in translating this “Call to Action” into practical actions; highlight technical resources to assist in the design of interventions; and set out a suggested framework for monitoring and tracking results. It is intended to be shared, adapted and applied by partners according to their specific organizational and programmatic context.
