Previously shared statistics on GBV cases in technical colleges may have been misleading. For more https://t.co/zZgO9NTOPs

Some of the options when you experience violence;

SAY NO-Tell the person to stop what they are doing
SPEAK OUT-Talk to a person you trust
REPORT-You can make an informal or a formal complaint and you can remain anonymous if you prefer

What do you do when you face sexual violence in #TEVET colleges?

There are 2 channels through which victims of sexual violence can report; by making an informal report or by making a formal report. Victims can also report to police.

Did you know one reason TEVET trainees cannot complete their required attachment is because they face sexual harassment and exploitation from supervisors or co-workers? Sexual harassment in the workplace violates labour laws.

In partnership with @artGlo, STEP is supporting a GBV free educational experience at college. Students have a RIGHT to access safe education. Congratulations to the 14 TEVET colleges who are running effective GBV prevention programs.

More can be done to keep students from being sexually exploited by providing bursaries that cover all living expenses, and most importantly, prosecuting those who exploit. More on https://t.co/TWl1B5OsaA

What are you doing in your community to end all forms of violence against women?

#16days, #StopViolence, #GenerationEquality

[STEP Malawi @stepmalawi]

Both male and female students can experience #GBV. Those from economically poor households are vulnerable to sexual exploitation from instructors & fellow students, among others.

Violence against female students is a serious human rights violation and one main reason for women to leave tertiary institutions. What can be done to address this? This is how some TEVET colleges are doing it https://t.co/TWl1B5OsaA
