Gender-based-violence-prevention sessions reached seven secondary schools in the Goma area, covering safety, consent, dignity, respect, equality, and awareness of reporting pathways. School-level reports sum to 3,325 student attendances — a count of attendances, not of distinct individuals, and not a measure of reduced violence.

Out of respect for students’ privacy, no confidential disclosures or identifying details are described here.
