Description

Plan's new report, the most comprehensive global examination of school violence yet, focuses on 3 major areas: sexual violence, corporal punishment and bullying.
The report shows that:
Girls as young as 10 are being forced to have sex by their teachers to pass exams, and threatened with poor grades and failure if they refuse.

Every year, more than 350,000,000 children suffer some type of violence in school. That's equivalent to more than the entire population of the United States.

90 countries continue to allow teachers to legally use corporal punishment and laws in countries that do ban it are often poorly enforced.
