SamenvattingGBV has many forms, including domestic violence, female genital cutting, rape and forced prostitution. This overview article written by guest editor Grace Osakue of Girls’ Power Initiative in Nigeria sheds some light on the complexity and pervasiveness of this issue. After describing different types of GBV and its effects, she gives some examples of programmes that have addressed this issue in Nigeria, China and Cambodia. A box on gender-based violence in schools provides some data on the prevalence and persistence of violence against school children and gives UNICEF’s definition of a ‘child-friendly school’.
