Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention Peer-to-Peer Education Guideline is developed in a context-specific manner. The guideline aims to empower girls to understand their inherent strength and ability to defend themselves. It teaches them to identify and respond to various forms of assault and equips them with self-defense skills and strategies to escape dangerous situations.
