Liberia, a West African nation with a predominantly youthful population (over 60% below age 35), grapples with significant challenges in its education system compounded by high rates of violence against children and adolescents, especially girls. Ranked 19th among the top 100 countries with the highest risks to education, according to Save the Children's 2022 "Build Forward Better" report, Liberia faces a pressing need to address this issue. Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), declared a national emergency in 2020, pervades school environments, with alarming rates reported among students, particularly girls. One in five learners – both girls and boys – report experiencing SGBV and gender-based violence (GBV) from teachers or staff, often associated with 'sex for grades' practices. Cultural norms and a lack of accountability contribute to underreporting, perpetuating the cycle of violence and undermining children's education, health, and well-being. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Liberia National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) initiated an intervention leveraging its expertise in community-based initiatives and humanitarian action to tackle the root causes of SGBV in schools, foster safer learning environments, and promote holistic development among Liberian children.
